John Raven and Mary ? marriage, probably Leicester(shire) before abt 1800

[kit54]

Please could any anyone help me to locate the marriage of John Raven and his wife Mary?
I know that they had at least 4 children (Joseph born 29/12/1801 and baptised at St Margaret's, Leicester on 10/1/1802, and Eleanor b 22/5/1799, Thomas b 1804 and Kitty b 17/4/1807.
I know that John died 7/10/1838 (abode Rusell St) and was buried in St Margaret's (age 74) and that his wife Mary was still living in Rusell Street in the 1841 Census (age 75). I think it said on the census return that she was born in the same county, but it was very faint. I do not know anything more about them, (I assume that they were married in Leicestershire, but am not sure) and would be delighted to have more info.
Many thanks
Chris

Someone has these submitted Children to JOHN/MARY Raven born Whitwick, Leics;
JOSEPH 14 Sept 1791, Buried 21 March 1794
JOHN 08 Sept 1793
ELIZABETH 06 Sept 1795
ALICE 23 July 1797
They have JOHN born c 1765 and MARY c 1769 (no Maiden name for her)

Seems to work with what Bunnygirl found and Johns age at Burial in 1838.

Hi, Bunnygirl and Trish,
First of all I'd like to say a huge thank you to both of you for the info that you have so kindly provided; I could not be more pleased and thrilled!
Bunnygirl, please have you any idea, what percentage of the parishes of Leicester/Leicestershire are covered by the CD that you used? It would be nice to know,'cos it would give me some idea as to if it is the right marriage.
Trish, please, is there any way you could put me into contact with the person who has submitted children to John/Mary Raven born Whitwick, 'cos (hopefully) they may be able to provide me with further info on John and Mary. I don't know if this is allowed.
Finally, (I assume that both John and Mary were FWKers), has anyone any info as to why they probably moved from Whitwick to Leicester? I'd be very grateful for any help/comments.

Thanking you again for your all your help,

Chris

Hi Chris,
Sorry there is no submitters info and it may have been put on Familysearch many years ago;
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

Just put in Alice Raven born c 1797, Region/British Isle, Country/England, County/Leicester and then when it comes up  click on her name and Parents come up and then on Family and all info will load.

Hi kit54,
The Leicester & Leicestershire marriages CD covers 1754 to 1837 available from LRFHS CD 81, it covers All Saints, St Margarets, St Martins, St Marys, St Nics & St Leonards all Leicestershire villages are included along with Netherseal.  And there are  loads of Raven entries.

Good luck with your research

Hi Bunnygirl and Trish

Thanks very much for your last messages. I tried searching for Alice on the IGI, but she and her family are not there. So, if anyone knows anything about John Raven and Mary Clarke from Whitwick, please get in touch!

Thanks again

Chris

Hi Chris,
As I said the info on John/Marys Children born in Whitwick is Submitted.
They may have gone through Parish Registers many years ago as there are exact dates.
You are best to get the CD suggested to try and go further back with this line.
