Humphrey Chambers

[ColC]

I am researching Humphrey Chambers born & baptised Langham in 1780, he was a Blacksmith and on the 1851 census he is also an Innkeeper, I have all the subsequent information on him and his descendants but I would like to find information on his ancestors.

According to a record on Ancestry his parents were Humphrey Chambers and Ann.

Can anyone help find their marriage or baptism for this Humphrey?

Is this, perhaps, the source of their info on the baptism?

and there's this marriage nearby, although 1765 is a bit early, unless "your" Humphrey was the baby of the family

Many thanks for your help, I had found the second marriage but it did not seem to fit, with the later births and the same mother. The burial record helps a lot.

The marriage at Cold Overton has led me to the Baptism there of Humphrey Chambers on 29 June 1740. I have also found his will and other information on http://www.langhaminrutland.org.uk.
