Hi Jean: You're very welcome. Could I ask you if you could do a lookup in your Northants marriages for the surname CARRAT or variation, please? I have several children of Richard Carrat and his wife Ann who were born in Horling Lincs. The family moved to Wansford in 1774. These children may have married in or near Wansford as I can't find any sign of them after the settlement certificate. The names and years of birth of the children were Thomas 1765, Ann 1773, Mary 1776 and Catherine 1780.

I have just searched the Northants marriage index for you and I can't find the name or any variations you are looking for. Sorry.
