Hi all i have the following marriage record and im hoping some kind roots chatter may be able  to help me find her parents!
Caroline Clark married Samuel l Nicholls in hook norton in Banbury 1839
Caroline was born in 1811 hook norton although i know Samuels parents were Job and kezia nicholls ive no idea who Carolines parents were.
And finnally some more help please!
A kind roots chatter found my gt Gran Francess Anne Clark on the 1891 census in chipping norton

she was working for the Nicholls family as a servant at the Crown Hotel im just curious does the census mention the Nicholls familys name by any chance?
Any help at al would as ever be really really appreciated

Have you seen this document?
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0e3p/

It shows that Caroline Nicholls died in 1851 (backed up by data in FreeBMD).....

There is an awful lot of family history in the Hook Norton area in this document.....really may help in your searches.....

There is a burial entry for William Clarke age 70 31 Mar 1851 Hook Norton but abode being Southrop which is nearby but also along Glos border area so it may be that direction to look for a marriage which I would put around 1805 when their first child appears in the Hook Norton regs:

1805 31 Mar Elizabeth d. William & Sarah
1808 26 Jan John s. William & Sarah

Couldn't see anything on OFHS CN02 covering Charlbury, Chastleton, Cornwell, Kingham, Little Rollright, Little Compton, Shipton Under Wychwood and Swerford.  (I restricted my search to marriages c. 1805).

Hi Debbie,Steph and MC
Many thanks for all your replies and also to the link its really good of you all, i had a feeling that the Nicholls tied in with the Cotswold Smiths at some point,I'm trying to link Caroline Clark in with my Clarks from hook norton,chippy and also Moreton in marsh and Broadway still trying to figure out who's who !my 4x grt Grandparents were William and Sarah Clark.Interestingly a while back whilst at Oxfordshire library i found many removal ,settlement and bastardy bonds for my Clarks with various members of the Smith family they seem to have kids as couples but not always marry not sure why?
Am i right in thinking that the 1891 census doesn't mention the Nicholls families first name?i was just curious to see if they tie in with the hook norton,great rollright Nicholls at all?
thanks again
