Caroline's father was James Kendall, Shipwright.
One of the witnesses looks like Elizabeth Anne Kendall.

There is another marriage a couple of years later.

John Smith, Bachelor, Blacksmith

Caroline Kendell, Spinster, father James Kendell, Shipwright.
Both of full age, residing in Carlisle Street.

Is this the same Caroline? Both occasions Caroline marked, father's details the same.
So far found only one Caroline Kendall with a father James who was a shipwright. She was born 4 August 1820, and baptized 4 Sep 1820 at the Independent Chapel, Mevagissey, in Cornwall.
Later on, in January 1828, she was baptized at Mevagissey parish church, along with siblings, their father James Kendal being a Shipwright.

Is that her age 20, down at the bottom of the Kendall household in Mevagissey in 1841?

A one off birth, any other sign? :-\
TIMMIS, JOHN       
Mother's Maiden Surname: HISCOCK 
GRO Reference: 1858  M Quarter in KENSINGTON  Volume 01A  Page 13

Possibly a few of the others with the same GRO ref have Paddington area baptisms.

Just in case! Mention a John Timmis, 20, born Shropshire, a soldier, in New Windsor in 1851. FamilySearch says born Wellington, but ancestry say Whittington. Could be either!

LATE EDIT!
1851 Worldwide Army Index has a John Timmis, reg no 5879, Private 1st (Or Grenadier) Regiment Of Foot Guards

I had often wondered about John Hughes' 1871 Census Birth location of "Aston, Shropshire".  51',61' & 81' all said "Wellington" (Which has a few associated towns and villages)  But Aston was just a small area, really just a farm "Aston Farm" at the base of the Wrenkin.  A lot has changed but not the view.  I have thought, what better place for a "Brewer" to start his career then on a farm growing plants for brewing (I do not now what is grown on that farm, but i read somewhere it may be "hops".  Only had that one Census, but if you found a "Hiscock" (unique name for me) to be in that same area, would further the theory that he may of been born on that farm.  Or at very least met a relative of his future wife.
