Edward James Counsell was an Inland Revenue Officer. The record says he was late of Logiemont?, North Britain, where the banns were read. His father was a coachbuilder.

Mary Ann was from Chepstow, her father was a mariner.

Witnesses: Hugh George; Martha Davies; Alexander Trimble

Surely the first names of her parents are on the baptismal record?

.............but the simple way to find out her father's details is to purchase copy of her marriage cert

from a tree ( for you to check)
