Dear Helen,
Thank you very much for the update. Now I know that the wedding was in March of
1846. That narrows the search a bit.
I had been on the Free BMD site before Christmas, but couldn't find it then.
Hopefully, Mavis or some other kind soul will be able to look up the entry in
the Parish Record for me, as the films for the Churches in Holywell don't have
marriages going back to that time. She was baptized in the Parish Church of
Whitford, so I am assuming that her marriage would be there as well.
