Couple of marriages I can't find

Hello
I tried all the baptisms for a William at Bremhill for c 1802 and a  year either side.
There were 9 but no  William Salter.
But there was a William Driver which I gave you.

Then  I spotted a family tree on Ancestry with a William Salter/Driver married to an Elizabeth Hope.
And they were looking for the same family.
Obviously i don't know if they are right.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks for that information.

The Salter / Drivers do seem to swap names - I have a Sarah Driver who I think is the daughter of William Salter (?) but I have never seen her with the name Salter  - now having done DNA there are lots of matches to Salter connections.

Could you show me any DNA evidence? That certainly would be convincing. Otherwise my tree ends with William Salter, who died in 1878.

That's great! I'll send you a PM about the DNA etc

Thanks!

My line now looks like this:

Thomas Salter (b. 1839, Charlcutt; chr. 1839, Bremhill as Driver)
William Driver (chr. 1801, Bremhill; d. 1878, Bremhill as Salter)
Joseph Salter Driver (chr. 1767, Bremhill; d. 1846 as Salter)

The fact that Joseph
