Hello all,

I wonder if there is anyone out there who could help me - I am trying to locate a marriage for Charles Lane and Caroline (? I have her maiden name on my ggrandfathers birth certificate but it's hard to decipher, it looks like Head, Heed or Hunt, but could possibly be Fleet).

Both Charles and Caroline were born in Cranborne, Wimborne, Dorset around 1825-30. I have found them on the 1851 census with no children and also found them on the '71 census where their eldest child is aged 20, so I'm assuming they would have married sometime around 1850/51.

I have searched the IGI and have found no record and I'm really not sure where else to look, or how to determine Caroline's maiden name. Any light shed on the subject would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Michelle
