These are my 3G Grandparents who married in Plymtree, Devon at St John the Baptist on the 5th April 1827. Jane Radford was born in Kentisbeare and there are a number of possibilities for her birth and various trees have different choices.
I am only able to see the transcript of the parish record of the marriage on findmypast which only gives the name of the bride & groom. I wonder if there is anyone who can take a look at the original record to see if any witnesses are mentioned that might help me.
Thank you.

Exeter & Plymouth Gazette 4th November 1843 has a piece about Giles East " Agricultural Labourers & Servants. First Premium. 3rd prize to Giles East who has worked for Mr John Hole of Plymtree and his predecessors on the same farm for 30 and a half years" Not sure what a First Premium was, but maybe money!
regards.

If you look at http://ukga.org/england/Devon/towns/p/Plymtree/index.html page 182 it states that the witnesses were William EAST & Sarah GRIFFIN.

Thank you both for the information, especially the link to Devon Genealogy.
