Hi there Ricky,

Can you please confirm the details that you have for that John KNOWLES marriage in 1782.   I ask because family search has the bride's surname as:

a) BROMEHEAD twice :

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NNZP-KZB and
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPRY-VH7V

b) BROOMHEAD twice :
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NNZR-7JD  and
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGKZ-QD48

I am attaching a snip from 1 part of a double page of eight marriages in the parish register.   I cannot find any person on those two pages with the surname as BOOMHEAD.  Hopefully this will help you over your Christmas break.

JM
