[Schooner]

Hi

Is there a means please, of just confirming which of theses ladies was the bride of John Muxworthy Bennett, at Bideford in June 1844, without having to purchase a certificate.

Elizabeth Bright
Ann Burch
Ann Brooke Burch
Eliza Lock

Hi

If you can find him or any of the other possible men in the 1851 census you can narrow it down by a process of elimination. It can be a bit longwinded but sometimes you strike lucky with a visiting relative which gives a clue to the wife's maiden name.

Hi Fizzix
Thank you for the suggestion of elimination, but:
 
During the start of my elimination, Pat, a local researcher from the Barnstaple area, contacted me with the offer of help and has kindly e-mailed me a copy of the wedding certificate this afternoon.

Kind regards
Schooner
