Looking at it, it reads George Finch of the Parish of Newbury, then there are 2 words which I cannot make it but I don't think it reads bachelor.

Maybe someone else can have a look?

EDIT I think the words are Berks and widower.

Yes that's the 1841 census that I'm looking at I also found that marriage in 1825 and a burial in June 1833 in Newbury for a Mary Finch aged 36 so thought that George was a widower when he married Jane Windebank

Their children? There's a big gap between Joseph and Mary potentially corresponding to the time between Mary dying and George remarrying.

Afraid this is it Tiggit. What were you hoping to find? I assume these were George's parents.

Thanks alviegal, Yes George's parents, I was just after the actual date.

I'm now trying to find the surname of Mary for this marriage in Westminster Marriages:

Edward Morris + Mary ? 1805 St Clement Danes Middlesex

As no name is given would it be possible to look at the actual image (if available) to see if it looks anything like Vaux
