Until every early marriage that exists (excluding those eaten by Mice) from every County is transcibed and available on the 'net' - brickwalls will abound….

The Gloucesteshire Wills on Ancestry do help, that is unless of course our Ancestor's never made one.

Took me over 4 years to find one of my set of x grandparents marriages - the Bride born in Wiltshire, brought up in Gloucestershire - the Groom from Gloucestershire, yet married in London, then moved back to Wiltshire (witnesses to their wedding were invaluable in this instance) - This was one branch 'with a few bob' - so they moved about a bit and whatever their income - people moved to work and survive.
