Help to find a missing marriage

[LizzieL]

Ancestry also has the marriage records of the same  church - St Peters Derby - for the period. I have looked from 14 Feb 1841 (3rd Banns reading) until early march 1841. No sign of marriage so it must have been cancelled. They should both appear as single people on 1841 census.

Unfortunately 1841 doesn't show status or relationships, only age and whether born in the County they are living in.
There's no Peter Heath in Bag Lane Derby in 1841. 🙁

Bag Lane/Morledge, they were neighbours, see here (Bag Lane labelled in the margin):

(Bag Lane is now East Street.)

The 1840 banns were in Burton upon Trent so maybe Peter was from there and Eliza from Derby?

 I know they emigrated on the SS Niagara on 13 July 1847. I have 1850, 1855, 1860 and 1880 censuses for Peter and Martha. Martha died in March 1901 and is buried in Catskill, Greene County. I have yet to discover a death and burial for

I suspect John Stonyer died between 1860 and 1880 (I haven't yet found an 1870 US census for him or Elizabeth), but have yet to find a record of his death and burial. Elizabeth I have in 1880, but not after that, and again no death or burial. I will be looking further for these.

It could be that John died between 1860 - 1865

On this census Peter & Martha noted number of times married 1, Elizabeth noted as now widowed

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.

I suspect that the marriage I was looking for never actually took place.

I suggest that we now draw a line under this particular case.
