I have been researching my Forest of Dean family. My 2 x great grandparents were James Thomas B 1851 and Ann Jane Merriman B 1850 they were married on 17th April 1871 I'm looking for any information I can find. I've got their marriage certificate but what's confusing is it says they were married in the registry office westbury on severn. I've also got James parents marriage certificate which is confusing. Samuel Thomas and Eunice Barnard 13th March 1847 at Blakeney Chapel in the district of Westbury union in the county og Gloucester. I didn't think that you could get married at this time in anywhere other than the Church of England? Can anyone e throw any light on this? The family is linked to Cinderford East Dean Little Dean Westbury on Severn and the general area of the forest.i am planning a visit so would like to get as much info as possible so I can get the best out of the time I will have in your lovely part of the world.
