Hi Richard, I have a Elizabeth SPINK in my tree born abt 1846 in Aylsham, but have not spouse. Had a quick look & found a tree with her married to Charles GRIX in 3rd qtr 1871 in Aylsham. Don't know if that helps.

Born 7 Feb 1847 in Aylsham. Not a direct ancestor just filling in some gaps. I am trying to find a marriage for her and I am stuck. There are two possible ones in the BMDs in 1871 and 1875. Unfortunately, neither of them appear in the Aylsham Parish Register so I cannot identify the correct one, assuming either of them are. I cannot find her in the 1871 census and the 1871 marriage is registered in Jul-Sep quarter so she should appear in her maiden name. Using the possible surnames of spouses in FMP I did an 1881 census search and came up with one possible, married to Charles Grix (the 1871 record). She gives her birth place as Burgh next Aylsham which isn't right but everything else matches. There are a couple of other Elizabeth Spinks registered a few years earlier but that would make the ages on the census wrong. I am pretty sure I have the right one but there is still a niggling doubt. I wonder if anyone has any idea where I might find where the marriage would be recorded, apart from the BMD record. I don't want to spend any money on certificates as it uses up my rather limited beer money. If anyone can crack this, I will toast their health when I am next down the pub.
