hello all it isn't often that my family history interests stray into God's Own County, but my great-great-grandmother's sister Susannah Bowles appears to have been married in the 4th quarter of 1862 in the Blything registration district. Her husband was David Parr, who was from Holton, so the marriage may well have been at Holton. Susannah was from Kent, born in Faversham and in every census living there, so it is presently beyond me why she was in Suffolk in the 1860s, but I shall have fun finding out! We know that the Bowles family were sailors, so it is not impossible that she and David married in a maritime port, possibly Southwold; but I am suggesting Holton as a first guess.
