Susanna Maria Barrett

[Kiwi Carol]

Hi Carol,

Do you have their marriage certificate? As stated by Solidrock it shows James as James Richard.
My mistake - it is James Richard and no we don't have a marriage certificate and i am puzzled as to why I can't find an entry somewhere

I can't find Sussanah Maria prior to the marriage but there is a Susannah Maria Tyler marrying a Charles Barrett in Lambeth in 1868, is there any chance that she was a widow when marrying James?  Well that could be possible but we think unlikely...

Susannah Maria Barrett  m  James Richard Clark,  1875, Headington, Oxfordshire.

Yes this is correct - I made a mistake; was thinking of her possible father William

Thank you all for your replies and helpful suggestions. Sorry for the late reply - I was away for the weekend.
One of the problems we have in NZ is knowing about the counties - I have no idea what is where when looking at records. The family have always been in Eton in Buckinghamshire; James Richards father was Richard Samuel and I have traced him thru the censuses but Susannah has been difficult altho it is thought she came from Oxfordshire, b 1847 and father could be W A.
James Richards b 1852 Wraysbury and family information suggests he and Susanna were married in Forest Hill Oxford. I found the Headington entry and I'm sure that's it.
but what about William Henry's twin. I could find no birth or death in July 1876.
OK I've realised that several more replies have come in - will need to digest the information! Thank you all. Marriage certificate needed it seems. Carol

Certificate ordered!! What a process - had to register then change emails...
Will just have to wait for its arrival.
In reply to Susanna's death (she was Susan in NZ) 1901 is correct. And the NZ info is also correct.
I couldn't find a live birth or a death for the same time as William Henry. The family think the twin? was female.Now what happened if the baby was born and then died almost immediately or was born dead? Burial? Wouldn't have been baptised...
More questions!! Really appreciate the help from everyone - thank you very much.

The certificate has arrived! Father William Barrett Keeper; Susanna was 32 while James was 24 quite a difference. Both signed the certificate although the writing looks the same as the Vicar's - Walter Neame but the witnesses - George Rowell, Frances Eleanor Barrett and Minnie E Clark, so we have Susanna's sister. 
This fits with LilyM's info earlier. Yay now for some more checking.
Thanks everyone.
Carol
