My great great grandma was REbecca Tucker daughter of John Tucker and Mary Shambrook. She married George Carrison around 1860-1863 I'm tyring to locate a marraige record for them and not having luck. I'd also like to correspond with others who are tracing the Tucker and Shambrook lines. Keefer68@msn.com

Possible marriage June 1861 Kingsbridge district 3 brides listed on freebmd, but only two grooms. Suggest you get the marriage cert to confirm
reference is 5b 881
Hioe this helps

I looked at marriage of Rebecca Tucker 1861 Kingsbridge. Unfortunately, the volume no and page no have been transcribed incorrectly. The correct number is 5b 381. Kingsbridge. All the others recorded as 5b 881 are Barnstaple not Kingsbridge.
It looks as though this marriage could have been to a Phillip Ellis but unable to find with any certainty on future census or find any children born to Ellis/Tucker. FreeBMD have marriage transcription. Sally

Thanks....I don't completely understand the FreeBMD but I took your recommendation and ordered the certficate. I guess what I don't understand is why the groom isn't listed or cross referrenced. Any insight into this?

Not a clue, perhaps the transcriber was unsure of the name, I have noticed it before, perhaps the page they were looking at was damaged (They are looking at old hand written documents.) At least you have the right name for the spouse now. Good luck.
