Hoping someone can help me sort this marriage out. One of these women married Shemuel (Samuel?) Henry Knapton in 1859, but I can't figure out which one. It so happens that Stone was the Shemuel's mothers maiden name, so is he marrying a cousin of his mother? Looking at the register in Shaftsbury, Eliza is the name of both brides, there is nothing on IGI.

The 1861 entry seems to be missing. On the 1871 census Eliza seems to be from Mere, Wiltshire.
I have found an Eliza Stone registered to Mere for her birth but it does not seem to lead to a marriage. Eliza Rose seems to link to a marriage with Shemuel but her birth place is wrong.Last edited by LorraineJ; 14-09-09, 11:28.

I've found a family tree on Ancestry. Shemuel is Henry or Harvey and born Feb 1841 and died 1902, Frome, Somerset. Wife is Eliza Stone born 27/1/1839 Bridport, Dorset and died Feb 1911, Frome, Dorset. Her parents are Joseph Stone and Caroline Jester. Neither of the trees I've looked at have a marriage for her. The marriage is Ist qtr. 1859 Shaftsbury vol 5a page 350. You may need to buy the certificate to be 100% sure.
All the best
