Are you SURE about their ages? It's seems a hell of a coincidence there's a marriage when they were babies, but exactly the right names and sort of area! Merry

first child Jeremiah 1835 in Aldenham hertfordshire

yes i am sure about their ages but it does seem weird about the names being the same for the other marriage

OK, I give in!! Merry

jim thanks for that it seems i was 3 years out with james's birth and wrong about where Jeremiah was born a family member sent me a copy of a bible page and those where the dates i was going on makes me wonder if any of the other info in there is wrong

thankyou for your help merry i really appreciate it

I was wondering if it were possible for an extracted marriage to have the wrong year but the same marriage (1817, St Leo's Shoreditch) is on Pallot's Index too, s I don't see that it can be wrong. Maybe there was a lot of intermarriage between two families!!! LOL Merry

here's the 1841, in case you don't have it: Emma Bunyan abt 1839 Essex, England Barking Essex George Bunyan abt 1840 Essex, England Barking Essex James Bunyan abt 1801 Essex, England Barking Essex James Bunyan abt 1837 Essex, England Barking Essex Jeremiah Bunyan abt 1835 Essex, England Barking Essex Susanro Bunyan abt 1811 Essex, England Barking Essex Merry

must admit merry im stumped too if their first child was born in 1835 i would have expected them to have been married a year or so earlier but you never know they may not have married at all i have no idea where she came from or who her parents where either its very frustrating

I love how they all say Yes for born in Essex in 1841 and then Jeremiah is reported to have been born in Bushy in 1851!! Anyway.....maybe they married in Hertfordshire? Maybe you should try this??: http://www.pjoiner.demon(.)co.uk/mindex/HRT%20mindex.html (remove brackets) Merry
