Thank you for all the responses so far.
I can see the BT of the marriage on Ancestry but cannot find/see a copy of the Parish Register with witnesses. If anyone could paste one I'd be grateful.

Do you mean the marriage of William MILLER and Sarah LAWRENCE? The image is on Ancestry - if you have account :

As I mentioned, we can't attach images to this thread. I've uploaded an image here:

Well looks like I was on the right track given William Miller and Wife Sarah mentioned in 1814 Will.


Thanks for that jonwarrn and also to you PrawnCocktail.

I always look at other Marriages around the same time as one stated to see if they may be siblings weddings and often come up trumps!
