Hello Don,   The Cornwall OPC database has the bride's residence as Stirra Bridge, father James.  There is a James SMITHERHAM on the 1841 census living at Starabridge but no daughter Martha listed.   Joy ________________________________ From: "smethfamily@btinternet.com" <smethfamily@btinternet.com> To: "CORNISH@rootsweb.com" <CORNISH@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, 16 December 2012, 12:54 Subject: [CORNISH] any knowledge of Sutton Bridge proximity of Rilla Mill around 1849? I'm trying to trace/eliminate etc a Martha Smetherham marrying a Philip Bennett of Rilla Mill at Linkinhorne Parish Church in 1849 & described on her/their marriage certificate as living at Sutton Bridge.   Trying to establish connection - or not - with 'her' other ancestry history but the only Sutton Bridge seems to be in Lincolnshire which, while not impossible, seems a far cry from all her other Rilla Mill connections.   Any offers?  Much appreciated.   Don S ------------------------------- Subscribe to digest by sending an email to CORNISH-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and body text.  If you want, MIME digests, email CORNISH-admin@rootsweb.com.
