Have you looked at this website? A descendant of James and Temperance but she can't find the marriage either.

I am wondering if anyone out there is able to help me with a brick wall. Trying to find out if Temperance Hooper born c1805 Somerset, was ever married even though she had many children between 1824 and 1845 some with the Hooper surname, others with surname Dix (husband listed as James Dix) and then a final surname change to Smith, with children and husband all changing to Smith. Most children born Wells, Somerset. Death 1880 as Temperance Dix (Upton) though had been in 1871 census as Temperance Smith.
Am trying to trace ancestral line of son born 1829, Edwin/Edmund who went by all three surnames when transported to Launceston in 1849 but took on Hooper Dix in his later years.
Am also trying to establish if Edwin merely took on the Dix surname because his mother was with James Dix, as this may not be his biological surname.
Any help at all with this would be greatly appreciated as is causing many headaches with brick walls..
