Trying to put it into words I became muddled and made mistakes with cut and paste - I write stuff in Notepad first. I have evidence from BT's & PR's for all except the IGI one.
Yer tiz in date order:-
1777 BT's baptism Zachariah of Thos Davis
1798 BT's baptism Zachariah of Martha Davis - a Martha D X Charles Payton in 1799.
1798 BT's marriage Zachariah Davis X Hannah Gadd
1798 BT's burial Hannah Davis aged 21.
1807 BT's baptism Zachariah of Zachariah Davis
1813 IGI submitted marriage Zachariah Davis X Priscilla Whitehead - no root source of data.
1831 PR's baptism George son of Zachariah & Elizabeth Davis - borne out by 1841census.
So, did Martha's Zach' (1798) become Zach' Payton? I wonder.
Did the Hannah Davis who died in 1798 have the maiden name Gadd?
Is the Zachariah X Priscilla marriage of 1813 an IGI fairy tale?
Who was Elizabeth before her marriage to Zachariah and when/where were they married?
If anybody knows or can find any of the answers P L E A S E let me know.
Regards
Chas

My head is spinning with all that information! I can look for the marriage of Zach and Priscilla in Bisley PR and a marriage of Zach and Elizabeth in Phillimore, perhaps. Did the census say whether Elizabeth was born in county?
It's quite possible that Martha's Zach took on his stepfather's surname, particularly if there were later children for Martha and Charles. This happened with my 2xgt-grandmother, but when she was married the minister entered her birth surname in the PR.

Unless the burial record for Hannah Davis states that she is the wife of Zachariah I would be wary of assuming that she is. In 1841 there are over 250 people in Bisley with the surname Davis...

To those who replied:
My comments and thanks are inside {}
Chas My head is spinning with all that information! {That's how I became muddled  } I can look for the marriage of Zach and Priscilla in Bisley PR {sre has replied on the marriage so it's not a fairy tale after all I need nothing more on them thanks a lot for the offer; I'll leave them "on the back burner" for the time being.} and a marriage of Zach and Elizabeth in Phillimore, perhaps. {sre (thanks a lot sre) has also replied giving Franklin as Elizabeth's maiden name and the date 1820 for the marriage. Now, if you could have a look-see if the parish register gives it please Gill, you know how I like pictures of stuff and Sally likes pictures of the Queen } Did the census say whether Elizabeth was born in county? {Indeed she was } It's quite possible that Martha's Zach took on his stepfather's surname, particularly if there were later children for Martha and Charles. This happened with my 2xgt-grandmother, but when she was married the minister entered her birth surname in the PR. Regards Gillg
Galium, - and don't I know it but my Spencers at W-U-E might be worse!
Regards to all

I think I'm following what you want me to do. 
Here's hoping I can find Zach and Elizabeth's marriage for you.
I'll also take a look at Hannah D's burial and see if the PR says "wife of...".
Cheers
Gill
p.s. Can't help wondering just what proportion of the 1841 Bisley population those 250+ Davises represented. I didn't realise it was such a big place back then!

Gill,
In 1841 the parish of Bisley did indeed cover a very large area.
I would be delighted if you can find the Zach' Davis X Elizabeth Franklin marriage in PR's and finding if Hannah Davis was the wife of a ZD would help to clear things wouldn't it?
According to my records, Elizabeth daughter of George Franklin was christened on June 1st 1800 along with children from five other families. Perhaps John Green the curate officiated.
There may have been quite a few Davises in Bisley but Gardiners (and I collect them) were more numerous and naturally, a Gardiner was one of the five christened on June 1st!
Regards
Chas

Zach & Elizabeth's PR entry will be winging its way to you shortly. In the mean time the details are:
Zachariah Davis bachelor otp and Elizabeth Franklin spinster otp married in Dursley by Banns 30 Oct 1820 by Edward Mansfield vicar. He signed, she made her mark. Witnesses: William Ball made his mark, but Richard Hill signed.
I looked at Hannah's death, but the details were minimal - burial 31 July 1798 age 21.
Cheers,
Gill
