When two newspapers make the same mistake, it's a good bet that the problem was with the newspaper's informant and not with the type setters or proof readers. The West Briton (Friday, 01 Oct 1858) reported the following marriage: "At St. Mary’s, Scilly, on Tuesday last, Mr. George BOULDEN, to Miss Mary Jane LEWIS, both of St. Agnes." The same event was reported by The Royal Cornwall Gazette (Friday, 01 Oct 1858): "At St. Mary's, Scilly, on Tuesday last, Mr. George BOULDEN, of St. Agnes, to Mary Jane, eldest daughter of Mr. Edwin LEWIS, of the same place." On the other hand, the index of civil marriage registrations indicates that the marriage of George BOULDEN and Mary Jane DAVIS was recorded at Scilly during 3Q1858. The bride was actually Mary Jane DAVIS (born circa 1840, St. Agnes, Scilly), daughter of Edwin Lewis DAVIS and his wife Jane LEGG. The confusion was very likely caused by her father's middle name. Perhaps he was known locally as "Edwin Lewis" to distinguish him from another Edwin living in the same area. The groom was lighthouse keeper George Henry BOULDEN (1831-1868), son of Samuel BOULDEN and his wife Loveday ODGERS. George was born at the Lizard and baptized at Landewednack on Boxing Day of 1831. He and Mary Jane had at least four children born in the Scilly Isles. Bill Curnow Port Charlotte, FL, USA
