And the marriage was at St James Toxteth.
One of the witnesses was Elizabeth Doye but the handwriting isn't brilliant and I'm wondering if it should be Doyle which is the surname of his daughter Elizabeth from her first marriage.

A bit puzzled now ::)
I've just come across a burial record for a Sarah Carrington aged 50 wife of Benjamin Carrington Engineer 11 April 1836 at St John Liverpool.
So did Benjamin have another wife in between Ann and Mary  :o or could this really be Ann and a mistake made with her name on the bishops transcript.

The plot thickens...
That will need further investigation I think.
Thank you Rolnora!  :)

Familysearch has a marriage for a Benjamin Carrington, around the right age, to a Sarah Wardlay, in 1830 in Sheffield. I can't see another suitable death for a Sarah Carrington in either Yorkshire or Lancashire. Doesn't mean there isn't one though.
The other option is Ann died sometime between 1828 and 1830; Benjamin married Sarah, who died in 1836; he then married Mary Pearce, who died between 1836 and 1841 (maybe).
Is this too far fetched, with Benjamin marrying 4x, and surviving all four wives?

Another great find 1karen  :)

I see that the surname has been transcribed as Forington on one record and Corrington on another. ;)

I think I was wrong in thinking that the witness Elizabeth Doye/Doyle on Benjamin's marriage to Mary was his daughter. Elizabeth didn't marry Henry Doyle until 1837 so would have still been a Carrington.

I get up this morning (my time) and there's another discovery. Thanks 1karen and Rolnora!
There's obviously a friend or family connection with the Doyle's; I don't believe in coincidences. Or she was simply calling herself Mrs. Doyle already......
I guess we can rule out the Sheffield marriage I found on familysearch then. I did think it was a bit far away.
What parish did that marriage take place in Karen?

The marriage records for St Anne Richmond on that site only go  up to 1822.
