George Giles of Peter Tavy

George Giles of Peter Tavy married Harriett Huggins of Mary Tavy in 1855 somewhere in the Tavistock registration district. I know they were not married in Peter Tavy. Does anyone know if they were married in Mary Tavy? Thank you so much!

In the 1851 census Harriet Huggins , aged 20 , born Lydford , was a House Servant at Hardfeard House , Mary Tavy , Tavistock.

Have found that usually bride is married in town of birth.

What about Lydford? Harriett says she was born there on 1861 census, and there is a baptism in 1830 in Lydford. However, I cannot find a marriage there on FMP.

Could not find on Ancestry, would suggest you get the marriage cert which would give you more information. They were married June qtr 1855 page ref is 5B 624
Lots of parishes in that area not on I.G.I.

Thank you for checking. I had noticed that DFHS has the Mary Tavy parish registers so I wondered if it was recorded there. If not, I will definitely keep searching. Thanks again for checking!
