Dear All
especially Lin Judith And Karen who responded to my thread. missing marriage for John Parnell and Martha Doust. I took the advice and had the GRO index searched from 1864 - 1872 with no results. so I assume they did not get married. I can't think why as Martha does not seem to have married anyone else.And I have checked all the john Parnell marriages between this time and they all check out as other John Parnell's.Martha was a Baptist and John an Anglican. The only child(my great grandfather) born to them was baptised Anglican. All of Martha's siblings were baptised At Hen street baptist church. Martha was born in 1838 and I can't find any record of her being baptised which seems strange. I will see if the Devon Archives might have any records of the Hen Street baptist Church Bovey Tracey. but I just wanted to thank those who have given me advice. not forgetting Jeff Ellis who helped me with another search. Many Thanks
