Do you have any in your families?
My Ayres, Nehemiah (1826) Married Susan Whitlock (1828) never found a marriage for these. And have roughly 8 children. Nehemiah may well have changed his name along the line or Susan married again.
No death for Nehemiah has been found (1850 is not him) but then on some of the birth certs for the children the name John Turner has been used, so did he change it, rather did he became known as John Turner.The mothers is the same still.
My Stockwells' married into the Pike, Black and Sheen families but i know nothing about them. I am trying to put some meat on the bones. Photos would be nice as well but that might be a wish to far.

Lilly Stockwell (1881) Married William Sheen
Daisy Stockwell (1886) Married Maurice Black
