After many years of searching I "think" I have finally found the marriage of my 4xgt grandfather's parents!! I had previously located a baptism of a Richard BRANT 5 June 1709 St Michael's on the Mount.Lincoln ( parents a William & Elizabeth) but thought it was perhaps a little early for my chap who wouldn't have married until about 1736/7 ( my 3xgr grandfather being born ca 1739, parents Richard BRAND and Jane). A few years ago Rex Johnson was very kind and searched numerous parish registers for that marriage with no luck, as did I. However yesterday I was scrolling through the "Family Search" data and by chance came across a Lincolnshire Marriage "Licence" ( 16 March 1736/7) of a Richard BRAND and a Jane THACKER. No note of where they eventfully married however. There is a baptism too of a Jane THACKER ( parents Will & Elizabeth) 1708 St.Swithin. Checking back I did find a likely marriage of a William BRAND and an Elizabeth HUNTON in Boultham ( which from maps I see was just a mile or two away from Lincoln). It seems as though there were 7 children baptised ( in St Michaels' Mount & St Swithin) to a couple with those names between 1703 and 1717 ( my Richard bp 1709 included). I just had to let you know that patience does pay off in the end. I shall now have to fork out a few quid to see a copy of the whole thing. I hope that all makes sense!
