PLEASE ARCHIVE - Joseph Evans & wife Elizabeth (Foley)
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?

Re: Joseph Evans & wife Elizabeth (Foley)
Yeh, thought I'd have another look at my own tree for a change
https://www.tribalpages.com/tribe/brows ... =128638186
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.

Re: Joseph Evans & wife Elizabeth (Foley)
Thanks for all that Kaye
Can't access BCC at the moment
I'll have a good look later. I notice William Smart was also born about 1771 the same as Joseph Evans
What do you think her name actually is?

Re: Joseph Evans & wife Elizabeth (Foley)
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?
