There is abundant evidence that the family of Simon Price were nonconformists. When they became non-conformist is not precisely known. Simon Price and Mary Louisa Stanners were both christened in the Church of England.
They were married in the Parish Church in Great Missenden, Buckingham, England on 4 Apr 1833; however, prior to the introduction of Civil Registration in 1837, there were no legal marriages performed in England outside of the Church of England, therefore nonconformists were regularly married in the Church of England. Christenings and burials in the Church of England were different.
Then they had the following ten children, none of which appear to have been christened in the Church of England:
Mary Price
Birth: 2 Feb 1833, Prior to Civil Registration
Christening: Unknown

Robert Price

So does anyone have any christening records for any of these children--either Church of England or from a Non-conformist Church?
Does anyone have information on the marriages--when and/or where they took place? Whether they were civil marriages or performed in the Church of England?
