Hi Liz - Mark and Elizabeth are in Tavistock in 1841, no children. There is a marriage registered in 1839: Mark MERRIT and Elizabeth COOK Frome, Sept quarter. Ref Vol 10 Page 495 (from FreeBMD) Hope this helps. Cheers, Patsy - New Zealand. > Dear Listers, > I have had so much help from people on this list, so am trying this one > again after a break..... > Mark MERRITT born North Bradley about 1807, married Elizabeth COOK (born > about 1813), almost certainly in North Bradley.
