Hi Helen,
The transcribed records unfortunately only went up to 1812. However, they did have the original registers on microfiche. I looked on these and found the following:
St Andrew's Church, Biggleswade
23rd September 1851
Henry Martin; Full Age; Bachelor; Gardener
Agnes Marshall; Full Age; Spinster
Both of Biggleswade.
Groom's Father: Joseph Martin; Shoemaker
Bride's Father: There was no name or occupation shown.
Witnesses: Eleanor Marshall & Mary King.
I checked the Biggleswade cemetery records, also the burial records for Biggleswade & found nothing in either. I tried to check the burials in Sandy as well, as they had been living their prior to marriage, but the bottom half of the fiche covering the year in question was a very dark grey & all but unreadable unfortunately.
I did however find some baptisms for both the Martin & Marshall families in Sandy.
St Swithun's Church, Sandy.
16th July 1827 - Mary Anne Marshall to William & Lucy Marshall; William a Labourer; Abode Sandy.
25th Dec 1829 - Ebeneezer Marshall to William & Lucy Marshall; William a Shepherd; Abode Sandy.
18th Apr 1830 - Agnes Marshall to William & Lucy Marshall; William a Shepherd; Abode Sandy.
20th Apr 1834 - William Marshall to William & Lucy Marshall; William a Labourer; Abode Sandy.
20th Apr 1834 - Agnes Marshall to William & Lucy Marshall; William a Labourer; Abode Sandy.
St Swithun's Church, Sandy.
7th Feb 1830 - William Henry Martin to Joseph & Mary Martin; Joseph a Shoemaker; Abode Sandy.
5th May 1833 - Fanny Martin to Joseph & Mary Martin; Joseph a Shoemaker; Abode Sandy.
The above is not all the children, just the ones that I spotted.
I also have the marriage details for the marriages of both William Henry Martin's parents & Agnes Marshall's parents. Would you like to have the details of these marriages?
Hope this all helps.
Kind regards
David
