Trying to find marriage certificate or details of BENJAMIN ASHBY (born about 1817 Maulden, Essex) who married ELIZABETH JARVIS nee Burrell probably at Shepton Mallett, Somerset.

In 1841 Census Benjamin was a Grenadier Guardsman in Kensington Barracks
In 1851 Census Benjamin was living at 16 North Street, Chelsea with Wife age 32, twins Benjamin and Joseph age 16 mths and stepdaughter Elija Jones (cabmans wife). Benjamin was a stableman.

A guess – The Grenadier Guards may have sent Benjamin’s unit to Shepton Mallet and it was there that he met Elizabeth. She was or had been married as her surname was JARVIS and she had a daughter Elija. Elija’s married name was Jones.

Any help greatly appreciated.
