Hi List, I'm trying to find the wedding of William CRESSWELL and "Maria Jane DARBY" or possibly just plain Jane DARBY sometime between 1841 and 1846. I've searched FreeBMD, the IGI and the Ancestry indexes to no avail. I realise there may have been no such marriage but I just want to be as sure as I can. Jane Darby was living with her mother at 43 St.John's St. in the 1841 census. The P.O. trade directory gives the name of John Darby hat maker at the address but he's not on the census. My next step will be to start a manual search of the surrounding churches records to see if the wedding shows up but I thought I'd just ask the list if anyone can help first. All suggestions gratefully received, and if you have a certificate even better. TIA, Neil.

Hi Neil I can't answer your query, but FYI (and in case you've not already seen them!) there are some well-researched family trees for the Darbys on Ancestry, some of which which include John Darby's death certificate (he died in 1841 which his why he's not on the census) and notes written on her family by William and Jane's daughter, Maria. BTW, None of the family trees have a marriage for William and Jane - perhaps, as you say, it never took place.
