Yes I take your point thank you that he might have not been his brother.

I dont think I can go any further with the other witness, Eliza Smith as it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.  I could check marriages between Horton and Smith and vice versa and also Swinnerton and Smith and vice versa but I doubt that will be fruitful.

Checking the original PR for the marriage might give up his original parish; it might also pay to check if there are any banns records available. Mind you, it still might be a case of "of this parish", which could mean he was there for a couple of weeks at least.

Unfortunately Birmingham Archives is closed until September so the original is unable to be checked.  I have confirmed with the fellow RC who advised of the details from a cd that the Parish wasnt given on the cd.  I had also wondered whether there were any banns but due to the closure I dont think I can progress any further at the moment,  I will ring the local LDS later and ask them whether the film referred to is available and when it might be available.  Thanks for your assistance.
