Charles Baghurst & Hannah Davis at Blakeney

Thanks to this marvellous site,I've been able to find Charles' partner.He and Hannah Davis were married at Awre in 1826 & had one child,Frances in 1827.
As they were married 'with the Consent of Parents',I assume that they were minors.
However,try as I may I cannot find Charles' parents.The only Charles Baghurst that I can find was Baptised at Blakeney in 1822.
Could anyone help,please? Also,is anyone else looking at this line?
Bob

As they were married 'with the Consent of Parents',I assume that they were minors.

I have a marriage in 1833 by J H Malpas at Awre where it states 'with the Consent of Parents'. The man was born 1791, his father died 1816 and his mother 1808. The woman was born 1787. I wouldn't call this pair minors!

Before Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1753 there was no lower legal age of marriage, except during the 1650s when it was sixteen for 'men' and fourteen for 'women'. In 1753 it was fixed at fourteen for men and twelve for women, and remained at those ages until the Age of Marriage Act in 1929, which raised it to sixteen for both.

Thanks for that Paul,but I'm still no further forward.
Bob.

Not sure if this helps

Was this Charles first marriage on the FOD Parish Records

Charles BAGGURST married Mary SIMMONS 2.5.1822 - Awre

George BAGGHURST christened 27 August 1823 - parents Charles and Mary (Viney Hill - labourer)

Mary BAGGHURST buried 20.11.1825 age 35

Charles BAGGHURST married Hannah DAVIS - 1826

Hannah BAGHURST married George HEWLETT 9.6.1832 (one witness was George BAGHURST)

I think that you may have nailed it! Thank you.
How dim am I?I looked at that Marriage,but didn't give it a second thought!

Now...where's Charles' Baptism?

Thanks again,
Bob.

I've been looking at the FOD and census and wonder whether the spelling BAGGUS/BAGGUST belongs to your family

On the 1841 census for Awre, Fanny BAGGUS is aged 14 and at the home of James TEAGUE and family.

On this site

George BAGGAS married Elizabeth MARSHALL 18.6.1800 -

Charles BAGGUST age 30 was buried in Awre 1.4.1828 - (could be Hannah's first husband) which would make him c 1798

Looking at the FOD site - and census (just to confuse things)

Hannah BAGHURST married James TEAGUE in Awre 19.12.1832

1841 Census for Blakeney

James TEAGUE age 50 - Ag Lab
Anna - 49
Thomas - 8
James - 6
Fanny BAGGUS - age 14 - (again this could be Charles and Hannah's daughter)

On the 1851 census for Blakeney

James TEAGUE - 62
Hannah - 46 born Awre
Thomas - 17
Martha - 6

Hope this helps

On the 1871 census, Hannah TEAGUE c 1804 born St Briavels.

On the IGI Batch Numbers for St Briavels : Hannah DAVIES was christened 18.11.1804 -

Wow,
thanks for that,whilst I've been watching the Football,you've been sorting my tree out for me!
Thanks again
Bob.

It's because of the football I disappeared to look at the FOD site
