Hi maddys52,

Many thanks for your help. I have found sofar most of the entries you listed.

One problem I have just found is that John Prescott appears to have married Elizabeth Fall in 1843 Torquay, Devon and "Ancy"  member(s) say it was in 1843 Carey Street Chapel, Torquay but I have not found any proof yet. This suggest to me that it may have been a non-conformist marriage!!

Do you know of any of these marriage records?
 
Mary Ann  Fall was John's 1st wife who is buried in 1842 and was the sister of Elizabeth Fall (Johns 2nd wife)

I can see the marriage of Mary Ann FALL and John Richard PRESCOTT (bach and spinster both of Weymouth) on 14 July 1842 at Wyke Regis by Banns (30 Jan, 6 Feb, 13 Feb).

Also a baptism of Elizabeth Jane dau of John Richard (of Weymouth, mariner) and Elizabeth PRESCOTT on 8 June 1851 at Melcombe Regis.

Will keep looking for marriage of John and Elizabeth.

That is very kind of you.

Thank you very much.

Even if it was  non conformist, the marriage should still be registered. 

You probably have this already -

1842  William Thomas Fall PRESCOTT mmn FALL (Newton Abbot) - presumably Mary Ann aged 19 died in childbirth?

[ribbo39]

Yes - Mary Ann was only 19 at marriage and was bur 2 montsh later!
