Hoping you can help with a cross boundary issue Abraham and Elizabeth were born about 1818 probably in Caddington. They had 8 eight children from 1820 and 1840 all of whom were christened in Caddington. I have found the family in the 1841 census living in Flamstead, just over in Hertfordshire and in Luton in the 1851 and 1861 censuses I am however unable to find on the IGI the marriage nor either of their respective parents All help gratefully received Rick Smith
