I am researching Josiah Darke (born 1813 in Bitton Gloucester) who married Ann Wells (sometimes recorded as Wills) in 1846 in East Teignmouth. Ann Wells/Wills was the daughter of John Wells/Wills and Frances Newman - she was born in Teignmouth in 1820. I have her parents marriage details and her baptism details. In 1846 there was a marriage for Ann but the groom appears to be recorded as Jonus Dark ! I have all census returns from 1851 for Josiah Darke but cannot find the 1841. I have a subscription for Find My Past but the 1841 census for Josiah Darke (or possibly Dark) doesn't seem to be there. As his working life was connected with railways I think he may have been in Devon during 1840's building the Great Western Railway - and presumably met Ann there. If anyone has access to the 1841 census I would be really grateful if they could locate Josiah Darke (possibly listed as Dark)
Many, many thanks in advance
