Hello , I am tearing what little hair I have left out looking for a marriage between a George Gard and Mary Ann Burnett in Devon in the 1860's supposedly . Maybe a fresh pair of eyes might prove luckier ! Would appreciate it , thenk you .

When & where were they born

[alan w jones]

I think Mary Ann Burnett was born in Knowstone in 1843  and think George Gard born about 1841 at Rose Ash . The census's 1871 to 1891 seem to point at a marriage ie Mary and George Gard .
Thanks Rosie

There are several trees on Ancestry for this family. I had a look for baptisms for their children and found this :

Bessie Mildred Gard 3 Jan 1876 , daughter of George and Mary Gard of Roseash , bap 3 Jan 1876 at Ringsash , Ringsash Bible Christians.

Have you tried looking for a Methodist marriage in Non-Conformist records ?

Thanks but it looks like a birth in 1843 on free bmd . The census's suggest various dates of age and birth up until both their deaths in 1897 . Still no trace of a marriage though . I saw a copy of their child Richard Gard  born 25/9/1870 which give Mary Gard formerly Burnett on the birth cert .
