Snip
The 1841 Census says he was born Bristol.

Adrian,
And that in itself is unusual isn't it?
There's a John B born 1761 in Dymock (IGI extracted) but that's a long way from Bristol isn't it? Mind you, had his parents moved to Bristol and he could remember growing up there so thought he was born there . . . . or somebody else gave erroneous information to the enumerator . . . . I suppose that had he been born in 1761 he might have been a bit ga-ga by 1841 so . . . . .
Regarding the enigma I told you of by P.M., I have no idea which could explain why the marriage is missing from BT's nor how/where the LDS managed to find the marriage dated before the date you found on the Licence.
Happy New Year
Chas
