Heather

Maria Wilson m William Green
19th June 1859, St. Nicholas, Great Yarmouth.

Maria Green m Benjamin Bryanton
25th May 1865, St. Nicholas, Great Yarmouth.

I want to check if Maria Green was a widow when she married Benjamin and if her father's details match up with those in the marriage of Maria Wilson to William Green. If so I think I've found my great great grandparents.
