Hello Gwynne and Nell It is a good point Gwynne maybe she was illegitimate, I dont suppose she would be the first. The marriage was 8 march 1859 and her age given as 23 years( just missing the 1837records which makes it a bit more difficult to get her baptism)Her name was Elizabeth Bailey married in St Pauls church Bedminster Somerset to John Billinger Kind Regards Colin Vaughan

You don't say when this was, but if you could find her birth cert/baptism record, it might help solve this mystery. nell

Hi, It may be that she was illegitimate and it is her mother's name in the Father's place. Gwynne

On my great grandparents marriage certificate, my great grandmothers name not only appears in the bride and groom column , but also in her fathers column (ie no fathers name).anyone any thoughts please as I am at a dead end with his name. Unfortunately it is quite a common name, Bailey Regards to All Colin Vaughan
