The GRO Cert. has been obtained and confirms that it was a Register Office Marriage in the Torrington District on 9th May 1838.
Thomas Rockhey describes himself as a Miller from Drumetts Mill, Frithelstock. His father Thomas, is also a Miller.
Elizabeth Jane Fry, daughter of John Fry, a yeoman is from Webbery Barton, Alverdiscott.
Elizabeth Jane died in 1862, leaving Thomas with 4 young children.
Unsurprisingly, Thomas married a second time in a Register Office in Islington in 1865, to another Devonshire girl Prudence Addemms. The whole family emigrated to Michigan, USA.
Regards,
John Bennett
