I wonder if any of you kind people would be able to give me some advice. Charles Day year of birth approx 1816 (according to 1841 census) married Mary and lived in Berkshire. I can't seem to find a record of their marriage anywhere. Please could you advise the best place to find it. Earliest found child was Anne born circa 1838 in Berkshire. Many thanks

Chances are they married prior to 1837 (and therefore prior to civil registration).You would need to check the Parish Registers,have you tried the IGI website (familysearch)? Glen

Did they live in Berkshire at the time of their marriage or perhaps move there after?

Aimee There is a Charles Day on the IGI site who married a Mary Ann Gilbert on 31 Dec 1836, Lambourne, Berkshire. Do you think this could be the one you are looking for Gwen

Aimee There is also a record of birth on the IGI site of a Charles Day on 14/09/1816 parents Elizabeth & Joseph Day, christened on 3/03/1816 at Milton Berkshire. Its a free site so worth a look Gwen

Oh My God I am overwhelmed by your info everyone. Thank you all so much, everything you have given me is more than likely as Lambourn is where lots of them come from. I am stunned and grateful for the time you have given me. Thanks again
