You probably meant 1841. Have you looked at the later images, or just the transcriptions? |

On the image in 1822 the image does say Kivenor but as Ellen put her mark rather than signing the cert I would think it could have been mispelt |

googled and there is a road in Devon called Kivenor Close - I must say I felt the name sounded Cornish or West Country |

It's definitely Jersey on the 1851: William and the children are Surrey and it looks completely different to that. |
