Hi all, first post asking for help so hope Ihave placed it corretly!

I have a marriage for Henry Weeks, born abt 1801, to sarah elizabeth phillips in 1861. He is 60, she is 20! I have found him in the 1841 census as Wicks, with children and wife Sarah, but obviously not the same Sarah.

I have tried to find a marriage entry for Henry and Sarah, but with no success!

Anyone have any ideas?

thanks for any help

Steve.

Marriages Mar 1861

Phillips Sarah Elizabeth Chelsea 1a 217
Weeks Henry Chelsea 1a 217

Sorry newbie mistakes in posting not quite enough info.

I have 1861 residence in chelsea, 1841 might not be him.

have found 1861 marriage to sarah elizabeth phillips

daughter Dora jane weeks born 1825, married in kensington & chelsea 1846.

Sarah elizabeth cannot be Dora's mother so looking for her mother. Dora has a brother Albert morgan henry born 1861.

I do my main research on ancestry, but have hit blanks so trying other avenues.

Thanks for the prompt initerest peter, anything else I can give you to help?

some matches but not convinced myself. Like to double check things, a result of an early mistake tracing to generations of a completly different family!
