Long-running investigation into the life of Thomas Smith Porter, one-time printer in Cirencester and Wotton-under-Edge...(c. 1815-1819).  Found a reference to the marriage of T. S. P and an Elizabeth Holder in Westbury on Severn on 6th September 1813.  Hoping that there are details associated with this marriage that could further my investigation.  Any chance that anyone can advance the search?

It'd be handy if anyone has any other detail about T. S. P.  I haven't found any birth or death notices and he doesn't appear in censuses as far as I've been able to consult them...

Many thanks for your very quick response.  Misfortunately, the detail I was hoping for - ages, occupation of TSP and something of his history are all lacking.

Onwards and sideways,
