There first son was born 1838 GG/Grandad b: 1841 As this is the only marriage cert that i can find right people right year but wrong place,Help Your thoughts would be appreciated Ann

Are you sure it says Westminster & not Winchester? Where were they living at the time of the census? People often lied and claimed they came from the place they were living in, not where they were actually born.

It definitely says Westminister, unless the transcriber put it down wrong. Ann

If they came from Middlesex why would they get married in Hampshire? not unless she was already pregnant with her first. and their families disowned them Jeanette

Portsea includes Portsmouth ... perhaps her father was in the Navy?
