Marriage look up please Lelant

[Bonniebuster196]

I would like the following Marriage looked up please:-

Elizabeth Edwards to Thomas Harry on 10th June 1820 in Lelant
witnesses were Thomas Harry and Phillip Hosking, the OPC site indicates that there were banns.  I am desperate to find out Elizabeths parents.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

Banns do not show the names of parents.

Lelant Parish Registers are available on Family Search;

1841 they were living in Trink, Lelant, Cornwall I presume?
Youngest Child Edwin born c 1840?

Cornwall OPC has a Elizabeth Harry Buried 26 Nov 1844 Lelant, abode Trink, age 44 (birth c 1800)
(Son Thomas was buried 27 Sept 1844 possibly age 8, abode Trink)
Thomas Harry was Buried 07 May 1849 abode Trink age 56

Cornwall OPC has 2 possibles for Elizabeth Edwards;
1799 to JOHN/JANE
1801 to CHARLES/MARY

Do you have Thomas's Parents?
I presume the Thomas, witness at Marriage is his Father.

Thomas/Elizabeth Baptised a JOHN, 03 March 1822.
Maybe named after Elizabeths Father?

Hi Trish
Thanks I have that info on Elizabeth, and yes have Thomas's parents were Grace and Thomas. E&T had thirteen children of which three died about 1844 as did Elizabeth.  Yes I suspect a John as her father..there is a John with a daughter for the right age at Penzance why would no mother be named?

I had found both those possibilities you suggested, but had dismissed Charles & Mary as being to far away at Pillaton.  I am not sure that Elizabeth comes from Lelant.....
Also when I find potential parents i am not sure how to take that forward? I am guessing her parents demised as neither were witnesses at her marriage.

Thanks for your input

if you're dismissing the one baptised in Pillaton on distance, you should do the same for the one baptised in Werrington, both the other end of the county. How about this one in Lelant?

Possible marriage in Lelant 7-4-1792 John Edwards & Jane Lembrick.

Name of mother didn't have to be on the register until 1813, so some people didn't record it. There's no reason for a parent to be a witness, a sibling is just as likely.

Thanks Osprey
I obviously have not mastered the art of searching on the Family search website as i did not get them..I will look into that further.

Many thanks
