*COMPLETED* Cosgrove- Marriage look-up please

[jubee]

I am trying to find a marriage between a Matthew Hodgins and Martha Ann (maiden name unknown).
According to the 1851 census they are living in Linslade, Buckinghamshire. Matthew is stated as being born in Linslade and Martha Ann is stated as being born in Cosgrove Northants. As the children were all said to have been born in Linslade I had assumed that the marriage was in Buckinghamshire. However,  I was searching the IGI and found the four following baptisms:

Eliza Hodgins                  bapt.   30 Nov 1831
Fanny Hodgins                bapt.   30 Nov 1831
William Watkins Hodgins bapt.  10 Mar 1833
John Hodgens (sic)         bapt.   3 May 1835

All these were in Cosgrove with parents Matthew and Martha Ann Hodgins, so I now think that Matthew and Martha Ann were married in Cosgrove around 1830. I've searched on the IGI but there doesn't appear to be any transcriptions for marriages in Cosgrove. 

Can anyone help please?

Hi

Can't help with the parish records I'm afraid but in case you draw a blank - several of their children were born after 1837 so a copy of one of the birth certs would give you Martha's maiden name

Hi,
A big thank you to CaroleW and seahall for your information  Another piece in my "family jigsaw" seems resolved.

Given the info from seahall that Martha Ann's maiden name was Watkins, I'm a little  that I didn't spot the link that their son was William Watkins Hodgins. At the time I thought that was an unusual middle name yet it never occurred to me that it might be Martha's surname.

Ah well You live and learn....!!
Once again many thanks for your help.

Ju.
