Thanks for posting this! One little error: I think you want 1636 for their marriage, right? I just published a post myself and am going right back and edit it, given your info. Also, I couldn't get the Allen County link to give me a workable format, but their link to Open Library is a super resource and very easy to use: http://openlibrary.org/books/OL13997417M/Buckinghamshire_parish_registers.
Done - Thank you for noting that slip of the fingers!!
