Adopted Daughter marriage??

[tracym]

hi there

that was what was confusing me?  Maybe there was a mix up in the names at the time of writing the records. Louisa Baldwin would be a better match.

I think I will have to order beatrice birth certificate to gain further information

Do you actually have a copy of the 1885 marriage certificate ?

How about ordering John and Louisa's marriage cert while you're at it? 

Marriages Dec 1885   
BARNETT    John                        Ledbury    6a   920    
BARNETT    Louisa Jane        Ledbury    6a   920

You can then check to see who Louisa's father is.

I think you will find this is a mis-transcription in the FreeBMD index.

FamilySearch lists the marriage of Louisa Jane BALDWIN to a BARNETT (no first name shown) at Colwall, Herefordshire on 23/12/1885. Her father James BALDWIN, his Richard BARNETT.

Colwall parish registers have been independently transcribed and are available online, Beatrice,s mother is Sarah Wingate spinster, no father mentioned,and the marriage is Barnett and Baldwin,
Batchelor and spinster.
