On the marriage certificate for John and Louisa, the witnesses are Richard and Sarah George. so I wonder if this his is brother??

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
about Richard George Name: Richard George
Age: Minor
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840
Spouse Name: Sarah Aked
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 18 Aug 1840
Parish: St Mary, Newington
County: Surrey
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: William George
Spouse Father Name: John Burrows

Both fathers deceased, no occupations given.

The brides name is interesting and ties in with Joseph Aikid aged 1 whose mother is in prison in 1861.

This could be Louisa's parents marriage;

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
about Elijah Farrant Name: Elijah Farrant
Spouse Name: Elizabeth Jones
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 17 Jun 1813
Parish: St Mary, Newington
County: Surrey
Borough: Southwark


Witnesses were William Williams and Thomas Dickson.

Elizabeth Jones was a Widower when she married, so Jones was not her maiden name........ however she could have been the witness at Richard George's marriage in 1840.
