Also I had posted that marriage earlier on in the thread showing that the wife was either Elizabeth Marshall or Elizabeth Dalby then when I noticed there was a son named Marshall I assumed the wife was Elizabeth Marshall.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

PollyPoppet -- remember -- the volume and page number will match for all brides and grooms listed on a page (usually meaning 4 people / 2 couples -- but there can be as many as 10 people / 5 couples).

The "Spouse's Surname Only available for records after 1912" is a message from this website on the record it produces, and I wish people would not copy that stuff into posts here. It confuses people. The surname isn't available from the GRO index, which is what the database at this website is taken from.

The surname *is* available, but only by ordering the marriage certificate (before 1911). But the surname can often be figured out from census records, as people did here.

You can find these records easily and for free at FreeBMD

and without all the brandname bumph. ;) Deleting bumph when copying from there too, look how much simpler, shorter and easier to follow:

Marriages Dec 1859
Bryans Charles Loughbro 7a 299
Dalbey Elizabeth Loughbro 7a 299
Dalby Elizabeth Loughbro 7a 299
Marshall Elizabeth Loughbro 7a 299
Monk William Loughbro 7a 299
