Marriage at Wansford
« on: Tuesday 07 February 12 19:53 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone check me a marriage in October 1807 at Wansford. Have seen a mention on British Newspaper site of a marriage between a Mr F Kirby of Barrowden & Miss Jane Sharpe of Wansford it was remarked that this was the first wedding at Wansford for 6 years.
My 4xgt-grandfather was a Francis Kirby who married a Jane Snart from Wansford & their 1st child was Elizabeth b.1810. Have not been able to find a marriage for these although they did live in Kingscliffe.
I'm wondering if the 1807 marriage is them but quoted wrongly in the paper.
Would be grateful if anyone has access to the register & can check.
Thanks Lynn

Thanks to mgeneas & Carole W for info. I thought the Northampton Mercury which had the marriage announcement must have got the surname wrong for Jane.
Cheers Lynn
