Title: marriage Portland Dorset
Post by: Alex and Jan on Monday 05 March 12 08:24 GMT (UK)

I cannot find a marriage on family search for John Davis and Jane c 1830
I have found them in 1841 at Portland.

I found a marriage on family search of John Anthony and Elizabeth Rodd in 1830 but cannot find them in 1841

Samuel Davis married Susan Anthony in 1856 (children of the above couples)
They emmigrated to Australia in 1857

Help please ?

The 1851 census shows Jane's birth place as Fordington, which is Dorchester.

As it was, and is, common practice for a marriage to take place in the bride's parish, then a likely marriage is that of John DAVIS and Jane ENSOR at St. George, Fordington 17th. April 1833.
