Val,
Still can't find any marriage record, but I did find this.  Maybe you already have it but thought I would pass it on anyway.  This is from Ellisisland.org
This is the passenger record, but when I attempt to look at the original manifest and enlarge the record, the correct record is not displayed.

 First Name: Nancy
Last Name: Vickers
Ethnicity: English
Last Place of Residence: Blackburn
Date of Arrival: October 28, 1902
Age at Arrival:  23y    Gender:  F    Marital Status:  S   
Ship of Travel: Saxonia
Port of Departure: Liverpool
Manifest Line Number: 0029

Hello Val;
I'm sorry but I can't find any marriage information for you and the only Nancy Vickers I can find in the 1910 census were born in the US, so she might have married prior to that.

Hello Geoff;
Thank you for your reply.  I'll check out the links you suggest.  As far as being new, you are right I'm not new to genealogy but new to looking for reli's in England proper.  I got a lot of help in finding the Welsh side of the family and most of it was on Familysearch.com. 

In the letter I received from another relative, written in 1906, was from my gggrandfather who wrote about his gggrandfather.  As I had said in my previous post I had tied most of the LAKE's in Trelleck, Monmouth together but as far back as I could go was a Henry Lake born about 1752.  He married Sarah Lewis dau of Thomas Lewis in 1788. 

I could never find Henry's birth information and felt that he had moved into the Trelleck area rather than being born there.  The letter confirmed what I had found and stated that Henry Lewis was born in Holsworthy, Devon.  It further states that Henry was one of 8 children and that Henry's parents were farmers and had died young.  The children were given to relatives to be raised.  The only other name of any children that was mentioned was a William that had fought in the war of 1812 when they burned the White House.  Wm. had fought in Battle of Blandensburg under General John Ross.

I would be most appreciative on any information you might be able to offer.
Thanks again.

Hello All;
I am looking for my relatives in Holsworthy, Devon.  I'm new to England side of the fence.  Most of what I've been able to track down has been in Monmouth but now I've gone back to 1752 and have a letter from a gggrandfather that states his gggrandfather came from Holsworthy.  Since this is before the census, and BMD how would I go about finding any birth information?  Already checked Familysearch.org and Ancestry. 
Thanks for any and all help you might offer.
