Church Langton Marriage 1736

[mgeneas]

I don't have many Leicestershire ancestors - but occasionally one nips up from Northamptonshire to marry etc.

Benjamin WEST didn't have to go very far though, he lived in Little Bowden.
I have found his second marriage in microfilm of the Church Langton Bishops Transcipts. But the last name and residence of the bride are unclear.
Benjamin WEST of Bowden to Elizabeth HUNT? of Welham?
20th April 1736

I would appreciate a lookup in the parish register of Church Langton to see if things can be clarified.

familysearch.org, has the marriage of Benjaman West to Elizabeth Hunt 20th April 1735 marriage place Langton Knossington Leicester

Someone got a bit mixed up then!!!

Another vote for HUNT though

[mgeneas]

Slaw, I am having trouble finding the marriage in Familysearch.

Can you remember which database it is in please?

[slaw]

www.familysearch.org,

That is where I tried, but couldn't find it.

I just put in Benjamin West and years  1734 to 1736, did'nt put anything in the place(have just tried it again and it worked for me)

Thanks Slaw, found it. I was putting in too much info.

I had thought it would be a patron submission, now I see it is part of the indexing programme.

It is strange as Knossington is quite far away from Church Langton.

More than ever I want to see what the parish record says!

Thanks again

trawling the Following Parish Marriage Records
at the Records Office today :~

Needles to say I drew a blank in ALL the Parishes……..
