Having to get that out about the sea captain, I have now taken in what you said about Colchester Street. I think that makes everything slot together much better for your family and makes me lessworried about the copper smith!

Erm, I'm not sure who that witness is! I will have a few more looks and wait and see if anyone else has any suggestions!

I've read back through the whole thread and I still don't know where to find the name of the witness who you are trying to identify!

I think it looks like John Strand, but that's not helping particularly!

Could you post a link, or a clue as to what marriage record it is, though, please?

Never mind, I've found it now. Yes, could well be John Strand. Or could be John Stroud.

Stroud or Strand mean nothing to me. If they are related I am yet to discover the link.

Richard who married Martha Potter was born in Somerset and his father was a mariner too. I found them on a census or 2, but haven't taken notes.

I even looked in India for Richard, as my Joseph Bridges was a merchant marine before he ended up in India, but I couldn't find anything helpful.
