Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	You haven't said where you've looked, whether the marriage is the correct one (even if not where you say), whether you mean Stapleford or Staplegrove. How far you can go back depends on whether you can find the correct links to take you back, which we haven't done as yet. If that is the correct census in 1841 then Richard could have been born 1797-1801 and Elizabeth 1792-1796 as ages were rounded down in that census to the nearest 5 for anyone over 15 Where have you found dates and places? The more info you can give us, the more help we can give you.

County Somerset Place North Petherton Church name St Mary Register type Parish Register Baptism date 09 Mar 1817 Person forename Charles Father forename Richard Mother forename Betty Father surname GARDNER Person abode North Petherton Father occupation Labourer Transcribed by Mark James File line number 359 to parents Richard and Elizabeth 1813 - Robert 1819 - Harriet but there are at least another 2 Gardner couples baptising in N Petherton

	I think it's Staplegrove. Found info on Family tree search. I think the Gardiner's go way back, I Have a rough note of Valentine Gardiner 1723-1799 and a Valentine Gardener 1698 and a brother Thomas 1695 and John 1693. .

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,663 Send Message	You need to be accurate John. Is the marriage correct - not where you said in your OP Is the 1841 census the correct family Where were they after that? Use this free site - various Valentine Gardner baptisms. also Thomas', (amongst others), but we haven't determined Elizabeth's parents yet https://www.freereg.org.uk/search_queries/new
