[mallosa]

Here are 2 marriages (both on the same day & year) 28 October 1792
Would you agree that it looks like Joseph Evans & William Smart were witnesses at each others wedding?

Yeh, thought I'd have another look at my own tree for a change

my thoughts....

Q: If Joseph was born abt 1771 he would have only been aged 21 when he married in 1792. On the marriage to Elizabeth Smith he was a Widower but a bachelor on Elizabeth Foley marriage and (he signed) which ties in with the 1841 census, him being a Clerk?

So I think the Elizabeth Foley marriage could be the correct one.

I've been trying to find something on that other Marriage - William Smart & Phoebe Parsons but getting nowhere

Cheers Jimmy!

I'm not getting any of this, think I'm going down the wrong path

Witness at Sarah Foley and Joseph Smart marriage in 1825 is a Thomas Foley

wife of Joseph Evans is Elizabeth Foley so maybe Sarah Foley is Aunt to Sarah?

[mallosa]

not sure what you mean Jan
