An annoying brickwall. Jane Corri

[groom]

Were there any other children from the marriage?

[Aussie Roy]

She also says her father was deceased by her marriage in 1858, but unless he died before registrations in 1837, there are no Joseph Corri deaths between 1837 and 1858. It's always possible that she was illegitimate and made up his name for respectability.

   Not definite but the area is right if the family moved from Wales........Name:    Joseph Cory, death
1841

No marriage has been found for Joseph Corri.  Possible that Jane was an only child

Both Joseph Cory and Susannah Cory appear to have left a will. You can access them on Ancy. ( Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills) - Joseph 1841 and Susannah 1848. Cannot see mention of a daughter but reading them might help you decide if this is a line worth pursuing.

After another week of fruitless I'm inclined to agree. No Jane Corri or similar spelling. Anglican marriage so surely a baptism certificate was provided ?? Was she from Wales ? or was that a guess by the census assessors judging her accent. Was she illiterate?  The marriage cert does not say 'the mark of' In fact the whole certificate appears to be all one hand. Add that no suitable Joseph can be found dead or alive.  Was her name Jane ? 1861 census does not give her first name.
Corri ? Co**i*? Nothing seems to fit, Collie ? 1841 census entry might be lost but 1851 should show something.

The parish register entry of the marriage is on Ancestry both Thomas & Jane signed the register and it is not in the same hand. Is the copy you have from the GRO as that would just be the copy sent from the church to them and not a photocopy of the original

Yes I got the GRO copy long before the marriage banns came on line, Looking at her signature on the banns it doesn't look much like corri
