I don't think the 1826 marriage can be for the Mariah in the 1851 - she would only have been about 3!

I think this is more likely to be George and Mariah's marriage, looking at the children's ages in 1851 but until Thomas comes back we can't be sure we have the right George:

Marriages Mar 1845 (>99%)
BELL George Bridgwater 10 531

Dunstone Maria Bridgwater 10 531

GillianMac Report 2 Dec 2009 12:48

In 1851 William is 78 Ag Lab wid living in North Petherton with Mr and Mrs Burnett
In 1841 he is 63 (ages rounded down on that year) and living with a mary 50 so possibly he married again after Sarah died
William himself died 1856 Jun Q Bridgwater 5a 285 and was baptised 19/5/1777 North Petherton son of Robert and Sarah
