Richard COVE

[treemaker15]

According to the Church of the Latter Day Saints  records Richard Cove married a Sophia ? in about 1836 in Starcross, Devon. This is not far from Powerham where Sophia was born. Is there somebody who could up with the exact date of the marriage and the brides surname.

Many thanks.

There is no marriage in the Devon Family History Society's marriage index which goes up to 1837.
However there is a marriage for a Richard Cove in the  marriage indexes in December quarter 1842  vol 10 entry 136, Exeter Registration district,  and he married one of the following:-
WEBBER, Ann
BANBURY, Sophia
NICKELLS, Ann

Hi

That IGI entry is a submitted one and it means somebody else is researching the same family

Submitted entries are frequently unreliable and when you don't see an actual date of marriage/baptism on a submitted entry - it's because it's a "guesstimate"

The 1851 census for Chudleigh shows as follows:

Richard Cove 41 b Chudleigh journeyman glazier
Sophia  35 b Starcross
Alice S   6 b Powerham
Richard Rob   4 b Starcross
Laura B 2 b Chudleigh
William A   9 Months ditto
