Thanks to the arrival of Bristol PR images on Ancestry I now know that the marriage of Eliza Burchill and Thomas House (Howes) reported in the Bristol papers in 1839 definitely didn't take place, as I suspected
The wedding of her sister Ann, in the paper as having taken place "at the same time" did happen (obviously I knew that), but the surprise was that the witnesses at Ann's wedding were Eliza Burchill and Thomas Howes!
