John and Anne's marriage:

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: John Wise - labourer
Age: Full Age
Spouse Name: E B\ann Drury (Ann Drury)
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 28 Oct 1850
Parish: Rotherhithe St Mary
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: John Wise - labourer
Spouse Father Name: William Drury - labourer
Register Type: Parish Register

Both of Rotherhithe and neither married before.

Witnesses: William Wise and Sarah Wise

What's happened with Ann's name is that the person filling in the register made a mistake when writing Ann's name and when they've amended it they've put their initials "EB" which has then been transcribed as part of her name.

WISE, John Head Married M 36 1825 ... Labr Gilling, Kent
WISE, Ann Wife Married F 33 1828 ..., Kent

John's occupation looks like Stone manufacturing labourer. Birthplace might read Selling? There is a place called Selling not too far from Faversham.

Just posting Sarah's baptism for background:

Sarah Elizabeth Wise born abt 1851 married James Heather. Her father was John Wise born abt 1823 Kent, Ann Drury was also born Kent abt 1828. I think Ann Drury was born in a place called: Molash, but can't work out where in Kent John Wise was born ? (On the census return) Can anyone help ? Also John Wise father was also called John Wise, but can't find much else about them... If anyone can find more, that would be very helpful, thanks.
