MELMOTH family in Dorset

[mphalp]

My great great grandmother was called Eliza Melmoth. She married Joseph Tapper in 1846 in Bryanston, Dorset.

I found this:
DURWESTON - 1841 CENSUS
62; Water Streeet; Henry MELMOTH; 60; Ag lab; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Christiana MELMOTH; 60; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Thomas MELMOTH; 30; Ag lab; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Eliza MELMOTH; 20; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; Ellen MELMOTH; 15; Y; F9P11
62; Water Streeet; James MELMOTH; 1; Y; F9P11

It seems quite likely that this is her living with her family - father Henry and mother Christiana   Can anyone confirm?

1851 entry shows her as aged 30 b Durweston so it's quite probable that you have the right 1841 entry.  To be certain - you would need to buy a copy of her marriage cert to confirm her father was Henry

Thank you - I shall do that

p.s.
 the witness john kearley seems to have been a witness at a few marriages in bryanston so probably nothing to do with the bride and groom
