Marriage look up please.

[solidrock]

Eli Beckwith born 1816 Halstead, Essex. Married in Mar 1939 Newington   . Free BMD gives 4 choices of wife and I would like to know which is his. He is on the 1851 census living in Lambeth with his 3 children, Emma, Sarah and Eliza. It says he is married but no wife on census. Thank you.

The new GRO Indexes search facility shows:

Birth, Dec qtr 1846, St Mary Newington
Beckwith, Emma     Mother's maiden name: Catechsides


(Emma was one of his children on the 1851 census)


Or:

Birth, Dec qtr 1842, Halstead
Beckwith, Emma Clarissa     Mother's maiden name: Newton

or
March qtr 1842, St Luke, Middlesex
Beckwith, Emma Clara     Mother's Maiden Name: Monk

Sarah Diana Monk is one of the potential brides!

Thank you CB53 and KGarrad, that is very helpful, also explains why Sarah was not on census.
