Thomas Keeling & Mary Barlow (wedding in 1823)

[BelgianKennedy]

Happy new year !

I've just discovered this forum and thought maybe you could help me with my brick wall... (sorry for my approximative english)

I'm from Belgium, but among my ancestries is Agnes Keeling (Born on 18 november 1832 and baptized on 4 december 1832 in Alton, Staffordshire - church St John the Baptist) who married a Belgian and died in Gent, Belgium. Her parents are Thomas Keeling and Mary Barlow, who wed in Dilhorne, Staffordshire, on 4 augustus 1823. They had another child: Thomas Keeling, baptized on 30 july 1829 in Alton.

Could someone find information about this family (birth/death of the parents, maybe their parents ?).

I'm pretty good for genealogical searches in Belgium (I'd help you with pleasure), but can't find online documents for England 

Thanks a lot for your precious help !

and their wedding certificate: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939K-X3HC-1

I'm looking for information about her parents (Thomas Keeling & Mary Barlow, who were already dead in 1859. I don't have the certificate for their 1823 wedding, just found the wedding date online here: https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_records/58186e0ae93790eb7fc9d087/mary-barlow-thomas-keeling-marriage-staffordshire-dilhorne-1823-08-04?locale=en) and ancestors in England, thanks for your help

You won;t find a marriage certificate as such - they didn't begin being issued until 1837. The church register may not record much more that is already shown on the Freereg site - normally if there are parents or witnesses named, Freereg would record those as well

There is a burial for a Thomas Keeling aged 30 in Alton on 12 November 1832, which if it is the father, would mean Agnes was born just after he died. The interesting thing is on the 1841 census young Thomas and Agnes are living with a Rushton or Ruston family - I haven't yet worked out if there is any family connection

Great, thanks! Do you know where I can have access to this 1841 census page?
