I'm stuck at my 3rd Great-Grandfather, George Marston (b.1841-d.about 1915). He married a Mary Bowker. Searching for their marriage record turned up nothing. I know he was born in Shefford, but I'm looking for information on either of their parents. Any suggestions on where to look?

Thank you!! Yes, this is his family! Where can I find the Drouin Collection? Also, it looks like you tried to add a link for the house of George Marston and Mary Louisa, but I don't see one.
