We are trying to find a marriage between a James Hydon and a Mary Giles. On their son Charles's birth certificate in 1847 Mary is down as Mary Hydon, formerly Giles. We have searched over and over but still have not had any luck in finding their marriage date. Please if anyone can help us we would appreciate it so much :) p.s. Charles was born in Dartford, Kent.

Regards,
Chrissie and Keeley.
