IGI has a submitted entry for a marriage in 1838 to Alice Lee. Unfortunately with submitted entries they can be wrong Maureen

just to add to what Glitter baby has found.. in the Oct-Nov-Dec quarter of 1838: John Preston Barrow on Soar 15 66 Alice Lee Barrow on Soar 15 66

I havn`t had time to go through all the census years for you but I have sometimes found on some census years an in law living with the wifes family which has given me the wifes maiden name. Just try checking through each census.
