A bit of a mystery this lot, with so many missing marriages and baptisms, particularly in parishes which have been extracted onto the IGI, which implies i) that a search of the parish register might be fruitless, and ii) that they might be under a spelling variation Lydia gave her birthplace as Stevington in 1851, and Elizabeth might be a bit older than you state as she gave her age as 44 in 1851, which would push back her parents' marriage as well But.... looking at the IGI for an Elizabeth born Ampthill c1807-10 there's an Elizabeth Haites daughter of William and Lydia Haites baptised 26 Dec 1807 (born 30 Oct 1807) and a marriage of William Haites and Lydia Dickens in Ampthill on 1 Dec 1806 which would be worth investigating I can't see a Lydia Dickens baptised in Stevington that fits, but there were Dickens in the parish and one named a daughter Lydia in 1812, which may just be coincidence. David Bill and Jenny Deverell <[email protected]> a écrit : Has any reader got the parish records for Ampthill and Flitton with Silsoe areas 1812 - 1840 especially marriages. I am looking for a William YATES b1789 married to Lydia b1783 (both buried Silsoe) Their dau Elizabeth b around 1810 Ampthill married to Thomas BUNKER around 1830 - children baptised Flitwick (Thomas may be the one born Steppingley died 1838.) He died before 1841 and she married again to John CHAPMAN 1845 (this last is on IGI) I have the families in 1841 and 1851 censuses despite vagaries of Ancestry transcriptions!!
