Hi Sue
http://genforum.genealogy.com/carter/messages/20405.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/carter/messages/20406.htmlThis person says they have a copy of the marriage certificate of Giles CARTER and Ann WELLS - but provides no details online of what it says!
There is a Giles CARTER indexed for a Marriage:Mar Qtr 1841, RD: Newbury, Ref: V6, page 249
He is is one of 5 persons on the page where the others are 2 brides and 2 grooms. There should be an even number on the page. His bride is probably not one of the 2 listed there, and is probably:
Ann WELLS indexed for a Marriage:
Mar Qtr 1841, RD: Newbury, Ref: V2, Page 249
She is the 9th person (and the 5th bride) on the page of 5 brides & 4 grooms, there should be only 8 on the page (4 of each gender). All the others are listed as RD Shoreditch.
The index is clear and is typed as Vol2 etc. - I suspect a typo error occurred at the time the index was typed and she should be Newbury, Vol 6, Page 249.
Newbury covers RD's in Berkshire & Hampshire:
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/newbury.htmlA Marriage registered in the Mar Qtr, could have occurred in Dec 1840. They may have already left the UK by the time of the 1841 Census which was taken 6 Jun 1841.
Their marriage would hopefully name their respective father's and have witness & address', which may be useful to track them back in England.
What is your source saying Giles lived in Gloucestershire?
Cheers
