The first witness is Thomas Jones.

The Curate could be Steventon but I can't see him in the 1841 Census so maybe not.

Thanks Emeltee.

I thought Thomas and entered it in my tree then had second thoughts.

The Curate's name is not easy to pick.

Another one solved.

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, thanks.

Not sure why it has 1834-1834.

Still cannot find him in the 1841 Census but he does appear in the 1841 Westminster Rate Books as living at 21 Eastbourne Terrace, St Marylebone.

Looking through the list there is a lot missing through the years.

I'm sometimes amazed that we can find as much as we do.
