Looking for John Langdon Somerset or Bristol?
« on: Thursday 19 May 16 09:59 BST (UK) »
Hi all
Am looking for any info on John Langdon who married Elizabeth Fry at St Michaels Bristol Gloucester in 1834. Apart from his marriage I have found nothing previously. He had 2 daughters Elizabeth 1830 & Clara ann 1835. In the 1841 census his wife Elizabeth is a publican running the Kings Head pub in Cathay st in Somerset.There is no clue if she was widowed.elizabeth went on to marry a Thomas Jenkins in 1843 20th November & I can find no death for her either.😏😏😏😏she has 2 children to him Emily 1846 & John Langdon Jenkins 1850 ( which makes me believes she was widowed)
Any help would be greatly appreciateIed.also note Thomas Jenkins 2nd husband inhabited same street in 1841 census

Who were the witnesses to the marriage. Does Elizabeths second marriage state that she is widowed
