What about this one?

March 1849 JONES Ann Clifton vol.11 p.332.

Free BMD and Ancestry record it as page 353, but the image reads 332.

There's no marriage for an Annie Higby in 1868. Did she marry as Jones?

unfortunatly before 1875 birth registering wasn`t compulsory ....so she may not have been registered.

Has anybody got any suggestions please? My Great Grandma married as Annie Higby in Bristol in 1868. Her father's name was given as Mainham Higby. On the 1861 census for Bitton she was recorded as Annie Jones, boarder, aged 11 born in Bristol. At this time she was living in the Higby household. I have been unable to find her birth in around 1850 for either Annie Jones or Annie Higby. There was an Annie Jones born 1850 in Bath, but this is not the right person.

I don't know how to proceed on this now, and would be grateful for any suggestions.
