John Matthews

[NooshieW]

Hi,
I am trying to find out whether a John Matthews b1817 Devon, was a widower when he married Hannah Cook in 1846 in Thatcham.
My relative was an Elizabeth Andrews b1821 who possibly married a John Mathews in Plymouth in 1838. I cannot find them together on a Census. She may have died and he remarried, just a long shot.
He was a Miller by profession and the only subsequent Miller by profession I can find, is on the 1851 Census married to Hannah unknown living in Berkshire.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

My relative was an Elizabeth Andrews b1821 who possibly married a John Mathews in Plymouth in 1838.

Shouldn't the first step be to confirm that the marriage is correct for "Your" Eliza?

GRO Index: 1838 quarter 1, volume 9, page 434:
marriage Locator:
We cannot locate the church for this marriage. The entry is located between entries for Stokenham (RD: Kingsbridge) and Newton Ferrers (RD: Plympton St Mary).

Where did the place Thatcham come from?

GRO Index: 1846 quarter 4, volume 6, page 416:

Which certificate do you have, does it give a father’s name and occupation?

[PaulineJ]

I have confirmed as much as I can,I have the certificate

Which certificate is that? No-one here is psychic.

If you do have a certificate then you need to relate ALL the details from it.
