Thanks for that, Daisy. Interesting news indeed!

So let me make sure I've got this right:
1. The original marriage record shows Bessie, but somebody has subsequently mistranscribed it as Bonnie?
2. It is possible for somebody to be called both Bessie and Eliza!
3. Bessie Eliza Isaac would appear to have been a spinster of this parish, aged 38, when she married in 1907.
4. Bessie Evans looks like a figment of the family's imagination!

Is that your reading of the evidence?

In a word yes :D...

...but I must be clear that I have only looked at the images of the index records of the birth and marriage which both show Bessie Eliza, Ancestry has transcribed the marriage as Bonnie ::)

With apologies for coming in late on this subject does anyone know if any of the Snook family moved to Urchfont, Wiltshire as I am some of those in my tree.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. David
