Witnesses give clues.

When Thomas MACKLIN married Hester COBAN - 31 May 1819 (had a daughter christened Maria)

and on the notes: The brides surname may be the same as the first witness COUBAN, the Curate may have spelt it wrong based on phonetics.

witnesses: Maria COUBAN and William WARD

There is a marriage at St Briavels - 19 September 1830 - of a Maria COUBAN marrying a William BEARD -

One child christened on FOD records of this couple

George 22 May 1835, at Lydney, parents William & Maria BEARD

residence: Pill House - Parish of Lydney, Doubler in Tin Works

-----

The couple listed below can be eliminated, as William BEARD married Maria BINNING and two children were christened in Gloucester in from 1828.
