I can find no other trace of him or Mary after their marriage.

How have you got back to him?

Did they have children that can be traced on any census

He is a sibling of my 4x Great Grandmother Susanna, so I've worked back to her and established her siblings. I can see no baptisms for the couple. I've tracked her and 2 other siblings, but not Samuel. I've tried all sorts of variations of spelling, but may have not thought of some possibilities. I've looked for him on census data just by forename and place/date of birth.

I saw Susannah and thought she may be a sibling

My only thought was maybe he died before official registration started in 1937

I suspect the issue may be odd spelling/transcription of the surname. I've come across several variations, along transcriptions that I don't feel reflect the actual record, for other family members. It's odd that both Samuel and Mary seem to just disappear after they married.

Well as there’s no bmds till 1837 and census before 1841 then it would only be parish records of any births or deaths or remarriage

Not all parish records have survived or been released for transcription

Could they have emigrated?

The parish registers for the locations in Lincolnshire associated with the wider family have survived, and many are available as scans as well as transcripts, but of course they could have gone elsewhere.

I've looked at the records for those leaving the UK and can't see anything that fits, but of course not all those records have survived, and again there may be the issue of mis-recording/mistranscription of an uncommon surname.

It may be that they are in records somewhere, but I haven't hit on the spelling/transciption for them. I was hoping some fresh eyes might come up with some spelling/transcript that I hadn't thought of.

A lot of Lincs families moved into Yorkshire to work in the growing industries there. But somewhere in the back of my mind is the idea that many Lincs families were paid to emigrate. But that one may have been before this time.

Try pronouncing the surname in as many accents as you can and work out how the name could be spelt.

Thanks safc, have been out at a meeting, will look at the items you have kindly found. You've done just what I was hoping and thought of or come across some variations I hadn't. Will post again once I've had chance to delve into what you've found.

WHO?????

Have looked at the register scans for the items safc found. They do seem to fit together.
The marriage register transcript is in error, the bride's father is John Crow not Crowson, which fits. As does the fact that the 1841 census is St George's Lane, which is the same address as the marriage register. Death of Samuel late 1847 and Mary's marriage as a widow in Apr 1848 also dovetail.

Have had a brief look for any other baptisms that might fit, but more delving in the baptisms for Boston St Botolphs to do. Will also be following up on Samuel jnr and Mary following her 2nd marriage.

Many thanks for your help!

WHO posted the 1841 census?????????
