Thanks to the new records on ancestry I managed to view the actual certificate of the marriage of Samuel Poston and Sarah Gooding. Parish is crossed out and in its place under the groom it says of the Liberty of Norton-Folgate and under the brides name it says laid Liberty of Norton-Folgate
I googled and found this:
Getting excited about the prospect of rich rellies I was until I found the original parish record of the baptism of their first child and his profession is listed as a painter! Has anyone got any idea what this means??
Quick update....Samuel poston, wife and children are nowhere to be found on the 1841 census, Children are Eleanor, Sarah, Jane, Harriet, and Mary Ann. Postons in middlesex are rarer than hens teeth!! I then find a Samuel Poston on the criminal registers he is accused of larceny by a servant but aquitted, does this mean he was a servant on the Norton folgate estate. Is this why I cannot find the family on the 1841?
