Trying to find a marriage for Susanna Phelps dob 1842 born UK and William Krips of Philadelphia dob 1831. The marriage probably took place in USA. I know her parants emigrated to USA sometime before 1846. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have Ancestry worldwide but it looks like there were two American Civil War soldiers by that name, so let's hope somebody can look it up for you.

Her mother was Harriet but she died in 1846 in Philadelphia. Harriet was born in Gloucestershire in 1804. I think they must have emigrated between 1842 and 1846. Harriet married Joseph in 1834 in England.
