	I didn't see a Horn marriage posted by malyon, malyon did you post one? But malyon, two people born in Cambridgeshire would have met/married in Kent? and had their first child in Cambridgeshire? In any case, from the baptisms Sylvia posted, one of the children was baptised in 1827 in Cambridgeshire the year before the 1828 marriage. So the idea may not have been completely off the wall to start with, but I think that baptism in 1827 followed closely by the other baptisms rules out the 1828 Kent marriage to Avis. Norfolkboy maybe you had seen these at famlysearch John Kirby marriage: 1805 Wrawby, Lincoln, England spouse: Mary Horn John Kirby marriage: 18 November 1799 Shrivenham, Berkshire, England spouse: Elizabeth Horn but they are both way too early and nowhere near where you should be looking.

	because the 1841 cut&paste is completely incomprehensible, I'm redoing it in legible format and omitting useless info, for my info and for anyone else who might want to be able to grasp the info Name John Kirby Event Type Census Event Date 1841 Event Place St Mary Wisbeck, Cambridgeshire, England Residence Note Wisbech St Mary Gender Male Age 50-54 Age (Original) 50 Birth Year (Estimated) 1787-1791 Birthplace Cambridgeshire Registration District Wisbeck Parish St Mary Wisbeck County Cambridgeshire John Kirby M 50-54 Cambridgeshire Mary Ann Kirby F 48-52 Cambridgeshire Elizebeth Kirby F 12 Cambridgeshire Robert Kirby M 10 Cambridgeshire Mary Ann Kirby F 8 Cambridgeshire John Kirby M 4 Cambridgeshire I can't imagine a reason why two people who were born, lived, and had their children in Cambridgeshire would have married in Kent. So Mary Ann Avis? Not very likely. 'So is it Horn or Avis ??' Where is 'Horn' coming from?
