Looking for wife of John Nickerson, Barningham, please

[Melfordgal]

Hello,
Can anyone please help me find a maiden name for the wife of John Nickerson, b 1815 in Barningham, m abt 1838. I think she's called Mary Anne & b abt 1820? Mother to George, b 1841.
Thank you

Hi,

Spouse's Name: Mary Peck 
Event Date: 03 Oct 1835

This was the only record for john Nickerson in the site so it may be him.

I checked Barningham banns and marriages for this time period but could not see anything for John Nickerson.

A James Nickerson (father James Nickerson) married Mary Ann Day on 25th June 1842
An Eliza Dickerson (father James Nickerson) married John Moye on 12th October 1844
A Sophia Nickerson was witness at both marriages


From the Barningham baptisms:
Maria Eliza d/o John and Mary Nickerson baptised 21st June 1840

Thats interesting annes!
I was not sure about the Norwich record.
I'm guessing perhaps he was christened James but known as John. I know Sophia was his mother. However, is it odd that a daughter Maria is baptised 2 years before the marriage? I've also got a son, George, b 1841??
Curious
Thanks for your help,

Hi I have full details of the marriage but thought he might be a brother 

James Nickerson bachelor - wheelwright - of Barningham
Mary Ann Day spinster - of Barningham
Married 25th June 1842
Both signed
Fathers: James Nickerson and Robert Day
In presence of: George Day and Sophia Nickerson

However as they baptised at least two children before 1842, and the Barningham one named parents as John and Mary Nickerson I would be inclined to think they were married well before 1842.

I wonder where they married??

Hello annes,
I've had a chance to review the census and I think I might be on the wrong track. John did have a brother James, b 1820 who in 1841 was living with his mother & father, whereas John, b 1815, in 1841 is living with his wife, so there must be a James & a John. John's wife Mary says she was born in Stanton, as does John.
Any ideas?
