You will see,(from previous thread) Esther MATTHEWS married John WILCE - A/M/J Qtr 1850 Westbury on Severn. Her marriage certificate should give the name of her father.

The couple married with the consent of Parents why would this be neccesary?

usually because one or both were "young" i.e. under 21 http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?id=23603
