Hello There,
I am trying to find a marriage record of the above two people please.
William Ebdon was born around 1810/1811, possibly in Ottery St. Mary. He lived nearly all of his life in Sidbury.
William was a son of John Ebdon, and Ann Dyer and a brother of my 4x great granddad Thomas Ebdon, who was baptised in 1815 in Sidbury, on the same day as his sister Triphena.
William's parents married in 1809, in Ottery St. Mary. Most of the census returns, apart from the 1861 census have William's place of birth down as being Ottery St. Mary. In all of the census returns, from 1841-1891, he is living in Sidbury. William died in 1898 in Sidbury.
Anyway, according to one family tree I have found on the internet, it states that William Ebdon married Ann Carnell, in 1832. It does not give a date. I am not sure if they were married in Sidbury, but there is a good chance that they would have been. William's wife was born around 1812/1813, in Sidbury, according to census records. There was an Ann Carnell, who was baptised in Sidbury, on the 13th of September 1812, and her birth date was put down as the 23rd of August 1812. William and Ann's oldest child appears to have been Louisa Ebdon, who was born 1833 in Sidbury. So it is possible that they may well have been married in 1832. But I am unable to find a record of the marriage on Family Search, or on Find My Past. I do not subscribe to Ancestry, so am unable to look on there.
I did do a GRO search for the pairs youngest son, Charles James Ebdon, born 1849 in Sidbury (in the district of Honiton), and it gave the mother's maiden surname as: "CARUELL". So there is an obvious likelihood that this could be a mistake in transcription, and it should read: "CARNELL".
If anyone has any information regarding a record for this pairs marriage, I would be very grateful indeed.
Thank you very much.
