I presume you mean 1831 married http://www.potterspury.org.uk/fhs/pr/pury/Marriages1800s.htm Burials http://www.potterspury.org.uk/fhs/pr/pury/burial_m.htm You are not going to find a BIRTH as civil registration didn't come in until 1837 so he was born and married too early for that, it has to be baptism and marriage banns/license You should find his death on FREEBMD you will fnd the link on here http://familytimeline.webs.com/apps/links/ it is a UK based website so could be very useful for you................ ADD: Burial 3Q 1837 Meakins Ann Potterspury 15 226 I can't see that he died in Potterspury, so it may have been somewhere else so just put Northamps or leave it blank when you search http://www.potterspury.org.uk/fhs/pr_search_request.htm
