Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Hello Ethel, what makes you think the marriage may have been between those years? (If indeed there was one)

	I can't find a marriage either. Perhaps they never actually married. Your best bet would be to buy the daughter's birth certificate (perhaps her middle name would be a clue?):- Name: WILES, Honor Jenkyn Registration district: Penzance County: Cornwall Year of registration: 1880 Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun Mother's maiden name: Not available before 1911 Q3 Volume no: 5C Page no: 270 Kath. x

	Strange that John has a middle initial on 1871 census which is not helping at all Sisters Mary and Nancy also have "B" as middle initial

	I wonder if this is the death of Cotton Jenkyn/Jenkin (in which case that could be the reason for not finding a marriage for John and Mary Ann if she was still married to Cotton):- Name: JENKIN, Cotton Registration district: St. Columb County: Cornwall Year of registration: 1924 Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at death: 79 Volume no: 5C Page no: 116 Kath. x
