The first thing to note is that FreeBMD does not have complete coverage of the civil registration and you are searching in a period - early 1860s when its coverage is less than complete
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progressM.shtml
shows the approximate coverage in each year for marriages. Family relatives indexes start from 1866. Only 1837online has complete coverage pre 1866, though you can find some of the images for pages yet to be transcribed and indexed on FreeBMD.

On the 1871 census Charles Cavill, a publican, born Banwell and aged 30 was living in Bath with wife Hannah also aged 30 born Yate Gloucestershire. They had 5 children
Charles 8
Ernest 6
Kate A 4
Madeline L 2
Not yet named 14 days

Hi there
Yes they did live in bath and sound about right. i do not have the info for any children before 1866, as have not looked at census before 1881. i have 9 children my first being ernest 1866, followed by kate 1867, would love the info you have on them, there was a marrige for a charles cavill on free fmd for june qrt 1851 but did not have any other entry on it to see wife, and could not find this entry on the paying site at all..
regards

The 1861 census pushes the possible marriage date (if before the birth of the first child) back a bit
1861 RG9 1687 folio 24
14 Peter Street Bath
Charles Cavill 26 Banwell Head Married NK (Not Known)
Hannah Cavill 26 Bath Wife Married
Amelia Cavill 2 Bath Daughter
Eliza Brown 38 Bath Visitor Married
Henry Brown 13 Bath Visitor
They would very young for a marriage in 1851 if their ages on this census are correct.

I've checked it so it should work
Otherwise find the main page of FreeBMD and scroll down until you see in red view images.
On the 1891 census Charles gives his birthplace as Locking.

Thanks Valda i will try and look through the images. could not get to it by link so will go to page. and go through them one by one,
I checked on parloc and locking is 1.7 miles from banwell
so there is a link to the brown family somewhere Heywood,? wil have to work on that one

Even with a marriage I suspect it could still be tricky as the 1851 census shows two Cavel (spelt this way be the enumerator) families within pages of each other in Locking. Both heads of household are called John, one born circa 1807, the other circa 1811, both labourers (but luckily with different named wives). Locking doesn't appear to be on the IGI.
Heywood's 1851 census find for Charles and his birthplace on the 1891 census seems to indicate strongly that he was born Locking and not close by Banwell.
You could request an 1841 census lookup for a Charles Cavill (plus spelling variations) to see if he is with his family in Locking.

Valda
