Marriage info received for the above With help from a look up request in Hereford
also turns out maybe related to other person who was also looking at this marriage

John weaver 20 Bachelor Forgeman Residence Hoo Brook
Hannah Downes 19 Residence Hoo Brook
Fathers John weaver Carpenter
John Downes Malster (sic) no idea what this is ?
Witnesses who also signed were John Weavers (sic) and Harriatt (or Harriott) Downes

All signed

Also believe that John's mother was Rebecca Tristram
& Hannah's mother was Mary Ann Davies their marriage I believe was 1820 in Hereford,
is it possible to view marriage this far Back ?

Hannah DOB 8/9/1828 Ludlow 1911 Hannah was (82) was living with granddaughter Sarah Wise

That's great thanx Gardener

Found what a Maltser is
A Malster was someone who brewed beer or prepared malt for brewing purposes

It looks very promising doesn't it
The name John Bill Downes carries on down for a number of generations, initially we thought it was maybe John who married Hannah Downes and added her name to the children later on, although now looks like goes further back

Ive found marriage as 22/10/1820 to Mary Ann Davies Leominster Hereford is it possible to view marriages this
far back ?
As think we need a look up don't we ?

Thanks again
