hello
You can send for the certificate of John Brown saying you only want it if Eliza Gower is the Bride.
I cannot see a John Brown and Eliza Gower.

HI there,
If you look at the actual image on Free BMD,you will see that it says Elham and page number 191 I have advised Free BMD of this error.
The two ladies on that same page are Mary Gill and Ann Jones.
This does not seem to be the right one for a near London marriage,Elham is Ashford/Folkestone way ???

Hi,
Do you think it could be a second marriage for one or both of them? I have found this possible marriage,
John BROWN Mar Q 1849 Greenwich 5 274
other names with same reference,
William BRITTEN
Eliza GOWERS
Eliza NOBLE
James PECK
Mary Ann UNDERDOWN
+
John AMOS
Rhoda GRAVES
I can find John and Rhoda AMOS in Greenwich in 1851.
Regards

Brilliant Daisy,
Didn't think to look for Eliza Gowers
I think you've cracked it ;)
And Greenwich is much more likely to be the right area.
