Hi Dianna, There doesn't seem to be a marriage for John STAR/R in Foxton to either Ann WRIGHT/LOKER (on FreeREG). There are quite a few marriages for LOKER and WRIGHT in Foxton, so the family is strongly represented. Maybe they married outside of Foxton?

Hi Trish The only place I could find there marriage was from the Cambridge FHS they have their Foxton BDM CD. It would have been interesting to see the original record though as Ann Loker (Looker) would have only been about 17 and maybe needed parents permission. Trying to connect things up is hard sometimes isn't it, if the guy from Salt Lake finds some extra details on Charles baptism that will be great. Many thanks Dianna

Hi Dianna Firstly the marriage you mention also appears in Boyds marriage indexes and as Cambs FHS have it listed would say you should have some confidence its correct Familysearch do not have marriages for Foxton online for that period (they have 1694 - 1753) but have various films for Foxton records including :- Parish registers for Foxton, 1678-1877 author: Church of England. Parish Church of Foxton (Cambridgeshire) Bishop's transcripts for the parish church of Foxton, 1599-1873 author: Church of England. Parish Church of Foxton (Cambridgeshire) An indexed transcription of the parish registers of Foxton : baptisms, 1599-1950; marriages, 1599-1950; burials, 1599-1927; banns, 1754-1950 author: Close, Penny For the marriage I would contact Cambs FHS who may be able to help you obtain a copy of the marriage from the register (it should be noted that there will not be a vast amount of information compared to a later civil registration) Names, sometimes occupation of groom, condition, of this Parish or their Parish of residence, by licence or banns, date, ministers name, if they signed the register or made their mark, plus witnesses who may or may not be relatives (often they are Church officials) If 17 she would need the consent of parents but that may or may not be noted , if married by licence that application may or may not survive Regarding entries found on familysearch, you can order in the film as you say but you can also order a copy from the LDS for that entry which may be easier / cheaper <https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Photoduplication_Services> You can tell where the entry comes from by its batch number Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 19/08/2012 08:05, dianna charles wrote: > Hi Trish > The only place I could find there marriage was from the Cambridge FHS > they have their Foxton BDM CD. > > It would have been interesting to see the original record though as > Ann Loker (Looker) would have only been about 17 and maybe needed parents > permission. > > Trying to connect things up is hard sometimes isn't it, if the guy from > Salt Lake finds some extra details on Charles baptism that will be great. > Many thanks Dianna

FreeREG has Foxton marriages at St Lawrence from 1755-1875, but Ann LOKER/LOOKER or John STAR/R are not listed. The Foxton Wesleyan Chapel records haven't been transcribed.
