Both Moses and Sarah signed their names by X mark. Their residence was given as Narrow Plain, Bristol which was not their actual full time residences that would be most likely St George for Moses and Hanham for Sarah., . Moses' father was William Brain whoses occupation was given as a labourer and Sarah's father Francis Haynes a Tailor.
SS Philip and Jacob Church, Bristol, UK, commonly referred to as Pip 'n' Jay 2 April 2007 William Avery
The witnesses to the marriage were X the mark of Daniel Lear. If I have the right Daniel Lear then he was born abt 1821 in Bitton, Gloucestershire son of Samuel Lear and married Elizabeth Caines in abt 1843 Bristol. Could he be connected with the family of William Bateman my 3 x gt grandfather whoses mother married a Lear. Perhaps DAniel was a friend of Moses?
The other
witness was Eliza David (the Sexton of St Philip and Jacob Church) who lived
in Church Alley in 1841 - by 1861 she is an inmate of the Temple Street Alms
Houses giving her age as 68 and born in St Philips, Bristol. There is record
of a death for an Eliza David in March Quarter 1864 Bristol.
