And yes, I think the father could very well be mentioned in the marriage record even if he was dead. I have a case from my own family, also Jones, a coal seller in Gloucestershire, who died the year before the marriage of his daughter who I'm descended from. Indeed, if it wasn't for his name being given by her, I'd not know who her father was. He's since been found in the 1841 census, with her, her mother & the sister who witnessed her marriage. I have the 1841 Bucks census. It may not be in the next few days, but now I know who to look for I'll skim through Buckingham & see if I can spot them. No promises - it's enumerators book images, not indexed, & some pages aren't very legible, but I'll have a quick look. Paul
