Love some help please, to help me move on. I've got a George French who got married Oct quarter at Ampthill, Beds (Vol 6/17). I'd like to know if the Ann he married was Ann Allen or Ann Hillson.

My thanks as always

Thank you for that info. Sorry for not putting the year in, there was me thinking I'd been on the ball, whooops.
So it was Ann Allen. I'm a happy bunny now

Family Search says John French married Ann Allen at Marston Moretaine, Beds on 13th October 1837.
This comes under Ampthill Registration District

As always. worth confirming this with marriage cert or looking at the originals of parish records.

Ann Hillson married William Faulkner same location around three weeks later, so that pairs them both off.
