"Marriages Dec 1844
MORGAN George Portsea I 7 286
Stigant Emma Portsea I 7 286"

This cannot be the Mary Stiggants I am looking for - she was born in 1837 - that would mean her getting married aged 7!!

Where will I find this information?

Is there a possibility Mary & Thomas may also have got married at the same church?

Sandy, the Church is probably St Andrews, if you write to the Local Archives they will send you a print out of the christenings, for a small charge. The family could have moved to that area and all be christened again, this happened in my family, the children were christened twice, as babies and then again when they moved to Dudley. The only marriage I can find is one in 1850, Thomas Townsend and Mary Fanny Harding, at Kilmston Hants :?:
