The marriage certificate was "solemnized" at the Registrar's Office in Rochford. John's father is "John Carey--deceased." I says his occupation was "husbandman."  Ann's was listed as "William Bailey" and his occupation was listed as "carpenter."

John Carey (groom) is listed as a blacksmith. It was a Civil Marriage.

I actually remember "Aunt Lizzy" (Elizabeth) and "Uncle Walter."  My mother (Annie Phoebe's daughter), father, and I lived with my grandparents--Annie and George Dunning. My grandmother died when I was a baby. Lizzy and Walter continued to live with my grandfather George the rest of their lives. I was six yrs. old the last time I saw them, and I remember them as being very small and delicate. Of course, to a child they were "ancient."

Thank you all for responding. The James (b.1846) who married Emma Targrass is the son of the James(b. @ 1823) I am trying to locate info. on.  For the person who sent reply#2 looking for birth info. on son John. John was my great-grandfather. His birth is recorded in English and Wales Civil Registration in qtr.1 1850. He married my great grandmother Anne Bailey. I do have original birth certificate for daughter Elizabeth (1874) and Annie Phoebe (1882). Elizabeth's certificate is misspelled as "Kerry" and a reissue in 1939 miss-interprets it as Kelly.


To the person who wrote replies # 3 &4 & 5, in my research there has been no one named Mary Burles in my direct line, that I have found in my research. I have found that many of the extended family seem to use the same Christian names repeatedly.

I am sorry if this reply is not in the correct format etc. This is my first time posting and replying on this site.
