Thanks to Josey and Malkey for the latest input to this puzzle.  I thought once I had a place name 'Hardwick' I would be able to find her but there appears to be a few possibilities, unsure how to narrow it down. 

The Yokel, yes I've checked their marriage from family search, it just gives their names and place of marriage which was not helpful, they were married in Finsbury in London, another mystery as to why they were married there.

Without further information I'm not sure I can confirm which Abbott is mine.

Hi again

Is this the marriage
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NK6G-JXD

if so I would be wary as I have found several times that these "marriages" on Family search are in fact the last date the Banns were read.

I have found that several parish records for London are viewable on Anc*stry not sure if Finsbury is one of them.

regards
