Find Ancestors

I am looking for a marriage for Charles Bedford b1796/7 to an Eliza in the Bristol area please.

I can't get on Familysearch now they have changed it.

Their first child was born in Middx Charles Beford 1826 I think and then Christopher Bedford 1828.

I have the couple on the census's but was hoping for the marriage.

Charles senior was a Ship Agent.

Thanks Mel

Not having much luck on the IGI...

Thanks Vera and it may be.

Beverley no it is not that one.

Father Charles Bedford 1797/6 on the 1841 census he is down as born 1801.

My friends connection is through Christopher Bedford his brother.

Sorry Mel, I don't understand your comments.
The man I found has father Christopher and a son called Christoper, so it seems more than possible that he has a brother Christopher too?
Also he was born in 1797, and CHRISTENED in 1811. A person shown as aged 40 in the 1841 census could certainly have been born between 1796 and 1801.
I'm not saying that the one I have found is definitely right but I don't understand your reasons for discounting him.

On the image for the marriage of Charles jnr. his father Charles is a Merchantile clerk.
This could well be a shipping agent........

Mike thats the one.

Sorry had to dish and have dinner as oh was starving.

Mike it was just a guess that they could have married in Bristol as they were both from there.

I looked on London Marriages but could'nt find them on that.

Thanks Fredk but I can't look up on Familyseaarch now it keeps saying to change my browser and other hlaf won't do it for me.

Do you have baptisms for the two sons? If not, bear in mind Eliza might not be their mother.

Charles may have been married more than once.

Is this son's marriage ?

Can find two more children for this couple William Bayless Bedford
christening: 21 Jan 1796 St. Nicholas, Bristol, Gloucester, England

and Mary Ellen (baptised same day as Charles Baylis Bedford)

birth: 11 Nov 1798
christening: 04 Feb 1811 Bristol, Gloucester, England
residence: 1798 Bristol, Gloucester, England

Can't see a son called Christopher, but maybe they didn't bother baptising him, if he existed?

Kucinta thanks for your imput.

Yes the son Christopher married Betsey Farmer.

What I am trying to find is Eliza's maiden name, Christopher and Charles's mother.
