Jo,
Thank you for your time and effort looking at this for me.
I have James Yeowell born Chertsey 1800 married Mary Ann Webb 1828 St Giles Holborn. He died 1838 and in his obituary it says he was a waiter. He has various occupations shown on his children's birth records though including, gardener, victualler and servant.
Our Yeowells all seem to be from Chertsey or moving on to London.
Thanks for finding the burial of George Garrett Yeowell aged 0. I was unable to find any trace of him so this would explain it. So that discounts the idea that he may be James's father, thanks.
I am going to investigate Ciderdrinker's suggestion that his mother may actually be Sarah and not Mary as indicated in the record shown.
Thanks again
Ann

Hello Carole,
Thanks for replying. I know that the marriage certs do not show much more than you already know, unless you are lucky and the witnesses names mean something! I was really just hoping to confirm that George Garrett Yeowell actually married a Mary. Just a shot in the dark! But thank you.

Thank you Gadget and Ron for your prompt replies!
We have been given just two boxes of slides and have no others so don't really want to buy anything new unless we have to. 
Yes, we have photographed them with a digital camera up against a window.( Don't have a projector).
That is quite succcesful but not very clear.
Ann

Thank you Sarenid for all your efforts.
Plenty here for me to work on!
I also found that Burial record of Elizabeth wife of Francis 1811. Perhaps he had a third marriage, or I wondered if she could have been Mary Elizabeth although its not recorded.
Regards
Ann
