funny...i just had the same thought and did the same lookups for Frances remarried. Yes we all come from St Leonards. I have the marriage certificate on order but it takes 6-8 weeks for Australian certificates to be delivered in Australia, but it only takes 3 weeks for English certificates to arrive in Australia.  how weird is that?

Is there a Northbridge in England somewhere?

Re Frances Denman.

The IGI has three christenings of children born to John and Harriett Denman at Goodrich, Herefordshire.
JOHN DENMAN
Christening: 15 MAY 1831 Goodrich, Hereford
FRANCES DENMAN
Christening: 19 APR 1840 Goodrich, Hereford
HARRIETT DENMAN
Christening: 22 MAY 1842 Goodrich, Hereford

FreeBMD shows births registered of Frances Denman (Jun Q 1840) and Hariot Denman (Jun Q 1842) in Ross district (which includes Goodrich).   There are no other Denman births shown in Herefordshire until the 1870s.

1841 census
Goodrich, Herefordshire

John Denman  35 Mason [looks like] not born in county
John Denman  10                              born in county
Harriett Denman 35                          not born in county
Ann Denman       12                          not born in county
George Denman   6                           born in county
Mary Denman       4                           born in county
Frances Denman   1                          born in county

Hello again Karon,

The only thing to do now seems to be to wait patiently for the 1861 marriage certificate of William MOTT & Frances DENMAN.

And if it doesn't give William's birthplace and parents, I guess the next step would be to get the birth certs of the other children (Mary 1862 and William J 1865).

And then the marriage cert of Frances MOTT & John James BULLOCK (assuming it is the same Frances) might say when her first husband died.

Probably way too late for my two cents worth...but a visual on the image query my first thought was an "M" beginning, but a closer look seems to be "Nithbridge"
Sorry if that is too off base...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOps, just looked and there's a Nithbridge (Dumfries) and a Nethbridge, (Inverness)
so I guess I WAS on a whole different ballfield...

HI
Just another note on this ^%$&*!! certificate.. a friend from Sydney found this query on here and rang me. He asked what was the info on the mother written on the certificate. I told him that it had on it Herefordshire England, he then asked what info was on the father, I told him that this image was all that was on it. Friend then said,,,, well he was probably born in Australia, because it doesnt have England under his name, when it does have it under the mothers name. so now I am looking for a place in Australia called this place....whatever it is.  Family have always said that he was English.. so where do I go from here??????????????????

Nowhere, I guess  ;D

Just wait patiently  >:( for the arrival of the marriage certificate.

And if it doesn't provide the answer then further lines of enquiry remain - the birth certificates of the other two children, and possibly the certificate of Frances's second marriage.

It looks like 'WITHBRIDGE' to me.  :)

For what it's worth I'm inclined to think this is a mis-interpretation of the name Wisbech which could have come about for any number of reasons.  On the internet today I came across just such a case. The postcode is a good indicator.
