[jsphillips]

I have researched a forebear of mine as folloes :-
George Phillips baptised 22 May 1744 St Clement Danes Middlesex. This was obtained from the transcription and original on Find my past
Fathers name Samson Phillips mother Sarah.
I am wanting to find (a) Sarah's birth surname (b) Samson & Sarah marriage date and place (c) birth date and place of both of them
I have tried Ancestry, FMP, Family search, FreeBMD parish all to no avail
Can some kind soul assist in any way even if it means a journey for me.
Thanks hopefully

Thanks I will definitely look at that.
I was made aware by my grandfather that the family was all London/Middlesex based as in Great Danes and Westminster etc.
Bu thanks where did this come from

It looks as if Mervyn found it here: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NFY9-B

Yes, it's from FamilySearch, but via Ancestry.co.uk (Search Marriages for Samson Philips rather than Phillips).

It wasn't unusual for people to move from one major Port City to another, so Bristol to London is not too far a stretch to consider. The next step would probably to follow a process of elimination, i.e. search for Births/Baptisms in both locations to ensure Bristol event s don't overlap any in London/Westminster and then to see if any children who may have been born/baptised in Bristol turn up later in London.
