There was a John, son of John and Susannah PERRY bap in 1813 at Deddington so a more likely groom in 1834. There is nothing in the PR transcript which helps to identify which one - simply John Knibbs, Deddington. Both witnesses were from Mary's side. I think I will change my data to this other John marrying Mary HALL now that you've pointed out the age discrepancy. > > Re Emily KNIBBS m Richard HOLLOWAY > With Edwin connections I seem to recall.
