This is the only one I can find;
Marriage;
02 March 1817, St Columb Major, Cornwall
Catherine WILLIAMS OTP, Widow
Joseph BURT OTP, Widower

She would have been young if this was the Marriage to be a Widow?


Joseph BURT was Buried 25 March 1832, St Mary (Madron Chapelry), Penzance.
Age 42, Birth c 1790

Marriage;
10 Januray 1837, Padstow
Catherine BURT
Jonathan PRIOR
Witnesses, Joseph WILLIAMS, William HODGE

All on Cornwall OPC

Well done Richview

That marriage date would fit in nicely with Lydia's baptism in 1818

I've had a go at finding Lydia - have no marriage etc but a possibility is she married Jeremiah Gilbert -b.c. 1818 Hayle Cornwall
They moved to Briton Ferry Galmorgan
Jeremiah was a Trinity Pilot
3 of their children were given middle names which look like Surnames
Jane Catherine Goodwin Gilbert
Elizabeth Wearn Gilbert
Rosina Burt Gilbert
maybe clues?

I cannot find a baptism for James Burt - but by 1861 he was in Cardiff occ Shipwright married to Ann -and his daughter was called Lydia!!!

She would have been about age 22/3 when she married Joseph Burt - I suppose she could have married age 17 /18 and been widowed young??

Wonder if her maiden name was Goodwin (as Lydia named a child Jane Catherine Goodwin Gilbert??

also wonder if  Joseph Williams (witness at marriage to Joseph Burt was her son - or an in law??

Guesswork -but maybe???

I will look again for a Marriage as on some baptisms she seems to be Caroline

Maybe another Child?

Yes I can see that Catherine/Caroline could be inter mixed.

Re Catherine Benoak;
Jane Oak? Burt fits then, must have been hard to read.
