Looking for baptism and marriage of Abraham Townsend

[LizzieL]

Abraham Townsend appears on the 1841 census in Abingdon prison. His age is given as 45, his occupation is weaver and he is born in county. He seems to have been committed for assaulting his wife according to newspaper articles and was unable to provide £10 surety so was jailed for a short time.
In 1851 he is living in Otwell street Abingdon, listed as married, but wife not living with him (unsurprisingly), his age is 61 (b abt 1790), he is a carpet weaver, born in Abingdon, and is deaf. I cannot find him on 1861 census, but I believe he died in Abingdon in 1869, burial 31 Jan 1869, residence Ock Street age 79 - birth year again abt 1790.
Can anyone find his wife or parents please?

Not found a baptism or marriage so far but this looks like him on the 1861 census transcribed as
Abraham Towend on ancestry age 72  birth year about 1789
piece 732 folio 27 page 5

Thank you that does look like him
After my post I found a Sarah M Townsend in 1851, married but no husband with her, with two sons, one named Abraham. There is a death for a Sarah Townsend in 1856 in Abingdon, which would fit with Abraham being a widower by 1861. I can't find baptisms for the children to confirm their father, though.

Thank you all, I was trying to track down Sarah's children after 1851, the two marriages naming Abraham as father fit nicely.

Not having much luck with baptisms or marriage but would say that's the correct family
