Hi Janet
thanks for looking for Samuel for me.
if he had been either of these he would been 10 when he married in 1816.
It is a headache.
Many thanks again.

Many thanks
I did realise after I posted that there would be no cert available for their marriage.
I have looked everywhere for the parish records and they would appear to be in London
No chance of a local visit then.
Many thanks
Mike

Michael

I am sorry to tell you that marriage certificates are only avaliable since 1st July 1837
this leaflet should explain all ---- prior to that - entries were only made in the parish church records - to see the entry you will either need to email the church to see if the registers are there and then visit .. Or ask them to make you a copy and send it to you

http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/documents/digitalasset/dg_186584.pdf

I think also you should be able to take the Price line back abit ... You need to search for free at
https://familysearch.org/search and http://www.freereg.org.uk/search/

Good luck

Thank you Renes, Christina and Chris Ho:)
I have at least a date of Marriage now for Samuel and Elizabeth. I will send for a Marriage certificate and see what that leads to.
Thank you seems little to say for all of your efforts.
I did not get what I was looking for (Samuel's Birth in Swansea) I think that I have exhausted all know avenues there to this point; but due to your invaluable help I draw close.

Yes I saw that he had said "born in county" on 1841 .... Beverley
So its possible I suppose, although Michael said he had the details from St Mary Swansea, but it was lost when the the detail to America but who knows it should definitely be left here it - although he says Swansea 1851

Looked thru the Dawley Magna baptisms last night ... And there is a second family with the surname Charles .... From memory it was a Joseph Charles ... Coincidence or a brother ....... Will post it later

Chris Ho Kindly sent me this

Just a thought and probably a red herring -
I'm looking at this, I know it's totally the wrong county but in 1841 when his memory was still good (!!) he said he was born in Shropshire and Shropshire and Staffordshire are next to each other!

If we can locate the two elder children
( on the 1841 found by Emma) Stephen c 1821 and Emma c 1826 baptisms

Remembering the rounding up of ages in 1841

They may not have been at Wellington .....

The children's christening dates are brilliant, I was viewing them today. But it does a mystery; they were obviously churched people, why no marriage details?
Strange!
