Can anybody help me with the marriage of Frances Beard, born Bricklehampton 1834? I have her marrying in 1855, but to Elija Cole or Thomas Harris? She was the daughter of John and Hannah Beard of Elmley Castle. Thanks, Pat

Unless you know the name of the church where they were married it is not possible to obtain further details from parish records. The only other alternative is to buy a copy of their marriage certificate
Thanks for that Carole. I was working from the free BMD and it was one of those 4 names on a page and sort it out yourself situations, so I think I can safely assume he's the fellow.
The help we get on here is really appreciated. Thanks very much, Pat.

I'll note that down for future research, thanks a lot Carole. It all helps once you start on a particular branch of the family, doesn't it? I've just been filling in the 1861 cencus info you gave me on my tree in Genes Reunited, and there are 2 people looking for Frances Beard - same birthdate, Elmley castle, so you never know, I might glean a bit more there. Thanks again' Pat.
