Ah, I'd forgotten about this other snippet......

The witnesses to the 1840 marriage of my 2xg-grandparents (George Sage, Isaac's son and Eliza Easton) were Isabella Sage and Edward Weeks. When I got George and Eliza's cert about ten years ago I didn't have access to much to help me, but wondered who Isabella Sage was and thought she might have been George's mother (but I now know she was Elizabeth). George and Eliza's firstborn was also called Isabella Sage.

I've just realised Isabella Sage (the witness) and Edward Weeks appear here:

Marriages Jun 1849
Allies Ann Dalton Clifton 11 385
Allies Anne Dalton Clifton 11 385
Bevan Elizabeth Catherine Clifton 11 385
Carpenter Caroline Clifton 11 385
Fripp Alfred Downing Clifton 11 385
Hodges Isaac Clifton 11 385
Perry Charles Clifton 11 385
Sage Isabella Clifton 11 385 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Weeks Edward Clifton 11 385 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

and more importantly, here:

Groom's Name: Edward Weeks
Bride's Name: Isabella Sage
Marriage Date: 25 Apr 1849
Marriage Place: Clifton, Bristol, England
Groom's Father's Name: Thomas Weeks
Bride's Father's Name: Isaac Sage
Groom's Marital Status: Single
Bride's Marital Status: Single
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: M00932-2
System Origin: England-EASy
Source Film Number: 1749587
Reference Number: Pg. 203, cn 405
Collection: England Marriages, 1538–1973

So, it would seem Isabella is likely to be George's sister! Maybe an age and baptism for her would help sort out.........well, something!
