oakham parish records

for the surname Smart--marriage around 1780-1790
John Smart--perhaps to a Mary Weston.
Any information re: the Weston and Smart families would be a great help to me.

Two possible burials in Oakham:

John Smart 30/8/1829 aged 70 therefore b abt 1759 which is about right for a marriage in 1783
Mary Smart 24/9/1820 aged 58 therefore b abt 1762.

Cant find any children of the marriage in Oakham.
Good luck
