Unless you were a Quaker or a Jew the only option for marriage was C of E until non-con and civil marriages became legal in 1837.

I do remember now - you said that before. (Must pay more attention)
Its just that Harriet's sister Sarah (she who marries Isaac Headland & then disappears along with him after 1800) had children who used the Independent church & every time it crops up I find myself hoping it might lead somewhere.

Only the C of E could perform legal marriages then so nonconformists had to marry c o e although I have hearsay evidence that they married in the vestry, not at the altar! OC

I saw this marriage: St Botolph, Aldersgate 17 Nov 1794 James Birch, widower Darcos (sic) Chamberlaine, spinster, both otp James signed, Dorcas made her mark witnesses Ann Ingle and Sarah Round Then a bit of a gap, followed by: Charles Birch Baptism 26 Mar 1800 St Margaret, Uxbridge, Middlesex James, Dorcas Elizabeth Birch Baptism 17 Oct 1800 St Margaret, Uxbridge, Middlesex James, Dorcas Thomas Birch Baptism 4 May 1806 St John the Baptist, Hillingdon, Middlesex James, Dorcas Charlotte Birch Baptism 15 Jul 1807 St Margaret, Uxbridge, Middlesex James, Dorcas Most of these have no occ for the father, but the entry for Thomas Birch says occ tailor.

This may be that Dorcas:
Death Registration BIRCH, DORCAS aged 81 GRO Reference: 1849 S Quarter in SAINT SAVIOUR SURREY Volume 04 Page 948 Do you know when/where James died?

The 1841 census doesn't really help. I think this may well be the Dorcas who died in 1849, but nothing to prove she is James's wife/widow here
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults Her name has been transcribed as Pinck! (about 1/2 way down left page)
