Marriage- David Ferris, Rosetta Munday - Borough- COMPLETED

[Lisa Teas]

Hello

Looking for help in finding the marriage details of David Ferris and Rosetta Munday.  They were married at St. George, Borough, London (I am assuming this is St. George-the-Martyr) in 1831.  I am particularly looking for the parents of David Ferris.  Any help appreciated.

The marriage took place pre 1st July 1837 before the start of civil registration so you will have to rely on information such as witnesses' names hoping they are related to either David or Rosetta as no information about fathers will be given.
It would be easier to track the couple through censuses to see what place of birth David states and try to search the baptismal register for him there. In this case since David married so far from his birth having witnesses to his marriage who were realted to him is less likely.

1851 census HO107 1591 folio 296
2 Mount Pleasant Lewisham Kent
David Ferris 43 Head Married Labourer in brick field Potten Wiltshire (same in 1861 census)
Rosetta Ferris 41 Wife Married Deptford Kent
Rosetta Ferris 19 Daughter Silk Winder Lewisham Kent
Ann Ferris 12 Daughter Laundress Lewisham
Sarah Ferris 11 Daughter Lewisham Kent
David Ferris 9 Son Lewisham Kent 
Jane Ferris 6 Daughter Lewisham Kent 
Samuel Ferris 3 Son Lewisham Kent 

Probably Potterne Wiltshire near Devizes. Have you searched the registeres there for his baptism?

David's age is consistent on the censuses in Lewisham apart from the last one in 1881.

1841 - 30, adult ages on the 1841 census usually rounded down to the nearest 5 so birth year circa 1807-1811
1851 - 43, birth year circa 1808
1861 - 54, birth year circa 1807
1871 - 63, birth year circa 1808 (gives his birthplace as Lewisham on this census)
1881 - 64, birth year circa 1817 (gives birthplace as Wiltshire not known) Rosetta also failed to age between these two censuses

Deaths Jun 1887   
Ferris  David  80  Lewisham  1d 628

I don't know whether the IGI has any coverage of Potterne parish registers. Potterne is about 2 miles away from Devizes to the south west of the town. There is a baptism in Rowde at about the right time. Rowde is to the north west of Devizes. Rowde and Potterne are about 4 miles apart.

On the 1851 -1881 censuses there is a David Ferris born Devizes aged 51. No David Ferris born Rowde. No other Ferrises born Potterne but quite a few born Rowde.
