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
Daisy

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.
