Dear List Can anyone help me find the marriage of James GRIFFITHS and Fanny KING? According to the census Fanny was born in Wellingborough abt. 1835-1840 and is in the 1841 and 1851 census with her family James and Hannah King in Wellingborough - HO107/801/8 11 and HO107/1743 547 36. In the 1861 census she is now Fanny GRIFFITHS and living in Bridgnorth Shropshire with James. She now has two children; the eldest, also called James, is 3 yrs and was born in 1857 in Market Harborough, Leicester/Northants. I have his birth certificate which states his mother is Fanny GRIFFITHS formerly KING so I believe I have the correct family. James and Fanny may have been married between 1851 and 1861, but I cannot find any such marriage in Free BMD or Ancestry. I have looked in areas around Wellingborough and around Market Harborough and also in areas around Bridgnorth and Herefordshire where James was born abt 1830, but with no luck. Can anyone help me? Secondary to this search, would anyone know why James Griffiths from Herefordshire would have moved across the country to Northamptonshire. His occupation was a plate layer. Would the railways have been recruiting from around the country to build the London line? Many thanks Della Melbourne
