BONNER - missing marriages
« on: Saturday 13 June 15 12:08 BST (UK) »
My first missing marriage is between Joseph BONNER & his wife Abigail.   Their first known child was baptised at St. Nicholas's church in Nuneaton in December 1747. Another eight children followed at fairly regular intervals, all baptised at the same church.

My second missing marriage is between Robert BONNER and his wife Hesther.   Robert is Joseph & Abigail's last son.   He & Hesther began having children baptised in 1803, again, always at St Nicholas's in Nuneaton.

How can they have disappeared twice in two generations?!!!   I've tried searching marriages just using the first names as well as all variations I can think of for BONNER but nothing has come up anywhere that remotely matches.   I do realise that not every parish is on-line.  Is it just a matter of waiting or does anyone have any other ideas please?

May have married in Leicestershire, try asking on the Leics board.

I have already looked at what's on-line for Leicestershire but a post on the Leicestershire boards is worth a go so thank you for the suggestion.
