Clark - Head marriage - 1808 Marlborough

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Dianad Report 31 Dec 2016 08:50

Hope somone can help - I found this on the internet - Someone had written on thier family tree page - Marlborough Parish records record marriage between Benjamin Clark of this parish batchelor and Hannah Head, spinster also of this parish by bans (No. 231) this 18th day of September 1808 by me Charles Jervis Curate. This marriage was solemnised between us Benjamin Clark and Hannah Head ( both signed) in the presence of Vinsent Head and Sarah Titcomb (x marks her signature) and Edward Atkins

But I cannot find the exact entry on the Wiltshire parish records, Benjamin Clark is the person I am trying to find, I have later census entries, but no Birth entries, I was led to believe he was born in Clewer, which is why I think I have not been able to find him, or his parents, his father was a witness to above marriage? the above entry says Benjamin was from Marlborough. Can anyone help and find the exact entry in the wiltshire parish records, and perhaps a birth entry?

Thanks in advance for any help :-)

I do not think the last Benjamin is a relative

Are these on Genes reunited or do you use another site for research, I couldn't find any of these using this site
