Ok thank you Shirley.

Thank you again GR for all your help.

You don't have to buy the cert because the parish record transcript has been posted above showing he married Sarah ann Dumbrell

Plus they are shown together on the following census and the GRO ref has been given for some children showing mmn was Dumbrell

Thank you Kathleen, I tried your site and Ancestry and nothing there either only digital image, as you say I will have to order the certificate to be sure.

Thank you, it's looking like it was Sarah Ann as we thought.
