One witness at the wedding was Sarah SELWYN - and again two baptisms of a Sarah at Westbury on Severn - parents (1775) Jacob & Mary and also (1780) John & Mary.

If Sarah c1780 never married, there is a burial at Westbury on Severn in 1835 - aged 55 c1780

Another witness at the wedding was William VENES

William VYNES was a witness at at Wedding in Awre 5 September 1813 of Henry BOULTON *** to Martha JONES.

It is worth using the Advance Search for witness at wedding to try and form family connections.

(Samuel SELWYN and Elizabeth SELWYN were witnesses at a wedding of James COOK (Widower) to Elizabeth SELWYN at Flaxley in 1826.

*** possibility this could be BOUGHTON - as there is a marriage 1834 of a George WAYMN to Susanna SELWYN - 6 January 1834 and a Charles BOUGHTON/Elizabeth SELWYN are witnesses.
