1805 Odell marriage - John Drage & Sarah Smith
« on: Thursday 08 February 24 00:14 GMT (UK) »
I am seeking a copy of the (potentially second) parish marriage of my ancestor John Drage to Sarah Smith in Odell, Bedfordshire, on 30 October 1805.

I am looking for the parents of John’s son, Joseph, born in Bozeat (near Odell, in the neighbouring county of Northamptonshire) about 1807 - a lot of online trees have him connected with a different John Drage (probably a relation of some sort, though) who married Hannah Nichols. My John was apparently married to an Esther and had children before the 1805 marriage - but I can’t find a burial for her… and there seems to be a child of theirs baptised after John would have remarried!

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Children of John and Esther Drage baptised in Bozeat
Esther 1796
James 1798
Thomas 1800
Catherine 1805

Looks as if Esther Drage died in Bozeat in 1820 (age 58)

I don't believe her husband John is the same one who married Sarah Smith.
