Hi
Huge favour please to someone with access to the Northamptonshire Marriage Index can you help me with the following:

Joseph Downing (born Yardley Hastings), I think he probably married Elizabeth Roberts in Little Houghton in September 1829

I would really like to know what the marriage index entry says hoping his father might be listed as I think it might have been Charles. Also anything more on Elizabeth.

If you could confirm that there aren't any other entries for Joseph Downing and Elizabeth after 1820 and before 1832 (their first child) that would also put my mind at rest.
MANY MANY THANKS
Sarah

Hi Sarah ...

From the Northants. MI:

17 SEP 1829 - Little Houghton C of E - Joseph DOWNING otp / Elizabeth ROBERTS otp

The index doesn't include any other information, but you may find the groom's father's name listed in the actual parish records.

There's only one Charles DOWNING recorded on the index:

06 NOV 1803 - Yardley Hastings C of E - Charles DOWNING otp / Rebecca FOSTER otp

Would seem likely from the point of view of date and place - have you checked YH registers for Joseph's baptism?
