Can anybody help with the marriage of John Brace to Eleanor (possibly Worthing) around 1820? In 1825 they baptised their daughter Eliza in Newchurch so I have assumed that they married their or in Presteigne. I believe John may have been a saddler/harness maker.
I think John was born around 1800 but confirmation of this would be helpful.

The family are in Dilwyn Herefordshire in 1851 and John is shown as b 1807 Presteigne but was 40 in 1841. Image unclear as to his age but I would guess he was 54 rather than 44.
Eleanor 1801 Huntington Herefordshire
