Another family rumour bites the dust.
Sorry, Shirley, but the TONG regs show
Marriage: 25th Feb 1811. Samuel Langford, bachelor and Ann Warren,
spinster, both of Tong.
and, baptism: 26 Jan 1812. Mary d/o Samuel and Ann Langford.

Regs finish here at 1812 so I could not go any further.

Sorry to disappoint you about your Lady Warren marrying the gardener. Hah,
but have you thought that perhaps she may have been the daughter of a Lady
Warren? There, now I've started another family rumour.There are no other
Warrens or Langfords shown in the Tong regs prior to 1811. So, they
originally came from somewhere else. That's certainly suspicious! Perhaps,
after all, they were runaways getting married away from their home parish?
Check out the I.G.I and see if you can pinpoint any Langfords and Warrens
living in the same village - might be a clue.
Good luck. If I come across anything else in my travels I'll let you know.
Have you checked out Burke's peerage to see if there was a Lord and Lady
Warren and if they may have had a daughter Ann?
Cheers
Graham
