Thanks, Slowhands. The information you have given is all correct. In answer to your question, I have looked for an earlier marriage for Caleb, but not found one.
I don't know if he was widower on his marriage to Ruth Kear as I have not seen the marriage certificate.
Evidence I do have about Caleb, he was left 2 houses, some outhouses and Garden in Bream, in his father Samuel's Will. ( I have a copy). Samuel died in 1892.

Late reply but only just seen this trawling the archive
Who was Samuel's father i.e. Caleb's grandfather?
Am trying to establish if This Samuel is brother to my own ggggrandfather.

From Slowhands' post the Census' show Samuel was born Bream abt 1815, is married to Mary Ann who was born Bitton Glos abt 1823. The Census also suggests their first child Caleb is born abt 1853, so probably married before then.
From FreeBMD I suspect this is their Marriage, and in Mary's home area;

Bitton is in Keynsham District, as this link from above FreeBMD page
http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/keynsham.html
This forum has shown many close links twixt the Forest and Bitton area, which was also wellknown for it's coalmining in those days, see

So ref the above marriage, sadly no FoD PR for this marriage (I certainly cannot find one), shame as would hopefully include names of parents/witnesses.
Maybe it's available on LDS etc, they have several marriage records f-o-c ?
-----
As you've probably noticed there are a few Baptisms within the FoD PRs which MAY be our Samuel, this seems the most likely but only from the location, there are other possibles ???...

Suggest try and find Thomas and Maria on the 1861 Census, if still alive are they near Samuel ?
Also of course look for Samuel, and hopefully still with/near his parents, within the 1841 and 1851 Census.
????
Not certain as haven't studied all the options in this site's PRs, but could this be Samuels' burial, seems to fit but NOT the rarest of names ?

PS Found this Burial while searching the PRs for wife Mary Ann's burial, could this be one of their children ?. That said lots of Mary Ann Jenkins in the FoD PRs.

Just a suggestion, hope it helps you ??
=========================== IMPORTANT UPDATE =============================
OH NO I'VE DUNNIT AGAIN !!. Seems like I enjoyed too much sun this morning !!
Searching the forum for Samuel gives this prior thread, I really should have known it would be there given the author, at least it seems to confirm my own research which is nice. Off for a lie down now... ;-)
