Hi,
I am trying to find a marriage between George Cook (born 1861 in bristol) and an Eliza J (surname unknown) born 1863.

They are on the 1891 and the 1901 census in St Phillip and Jacob, Bristol with their children - Henry, George, William, John, Rose, Jane and Emma

Any help appreciated as I cannot find anything on Ancestry or Familysearch
Regards,
Seb

Thanks. I have just found an Eliza Jane Henson born in Bristol in 1865, so I think that may be her.

Where did you find the info? As I would be interested to see the Groom's father's name

I think you have found the right one. In the 1871 and 1881 she is living in Ann Street and Great Ann Street (as detailed above). On my tree I have them living in Little Ann Street in 1891! I would just like to find the marriage myself to see if it lists the fathers names
