I am looking for CAROLINE BURGOYNE. According to the IGI she married a Thomas Darby on 11th November 1836 at St Giles Cripplegate. Can anyone access the parish record for the marriage and tell me who Caroline's father was? Many thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help.

Parish records for marriages from 1836 don't give fathers details. Sam x

Thanks everyone for your help. Georgina - this is exactly the information I have already found. The census entry is the right family. I was hoping to prove that the IGI baptism was the right person, as it is 3 or 4 years too early. As the parish record for the marriage apparently won't actually have the father's name, then I guess I can't get any further. Sam - what information can one expect to find in the parish records for a marriage???
