Robert GREGORY Elizabeth Ann ELLIOT marriage BRIXHAM 1837

[Mowsehowse]

There is a baptism in Brixham on 10 Jun 1838 for Robert Henry which also records his date of birth. He was baptised Robert George Elliott Gregory (son of Robert and Elizabeth), but on his marriage certificate has become Robert Henry. He had a brother George Henry Elliot Gregory b1841. I can find George on the Civil Registration birth index but not Robert. All very confusing! 

Yes. All very confusing, but do keep in mind that you may not have the correct person.  [ I spent years thinking 2 sisters had married the same man, then eventually discovered my error as it was 2 cousins who had both been named for their grandfather.]
I have done lots of research for Brixham and often you will find several cousins of similar age, who have the same given and surnames.  A middle name might be added to make the difference between individuals.

Thanks for your reply, but I do have other evidence to confirm that these are the correct two people (including a family bible), just not any evidence of a marriage, which is really frustrating. Oh well, perhaps they never did tie the knot! I have searched nationally, as various of the children were born elsewhere, but still no joy. Hey ho, the joys of genealogy! They lived apart for the last 20 years of their lives, both still in Brixham, but not together. Oh to have a window back to see what happened.
