Find Ancestors

Hi, I'm trying to find out marriage date and details for my great great grandparents but seem to have hit a brick wall, could anyone help?

Their names are Samuel Harris (c. 1846) and Mary Wynn (c.1848).

They were both born in Coleford, Gloucester. By the time they had their first child Thomas, they'd moved to Hanley and then later moved to Wigan. Their other children were William, Albert, Annie and Richard.

Thanks

When was the first child born?

Sam x

when was Thomas born to give a start date wise .
Have you checked on FreeBMD first ??

i've got one of the childrens certificates, Richard, b.1888. I've scanned a copy of it here, it looks like Wynn but there's a chance it could be something else?

definately looks like Wynn

Dylan, I had a look and I agree, it definately looks like Wynne.

Off to have another look!

Hi, did anyone have any luck finding anything else here? Thanks

There is this on freebmd.

I know it isn't quite right but maybe misheard or mistranscribed??
