Many apologies,Slowhands. I have just found your response to my questions and would like to thank you for putting this information together.

The pattern in my family seems to be that the women had children before marriage so it seems likely that Hannah Giles was John Morgan's wife.

Whilst looking through some Essex registers for a different branch of my family I found a handwritten list of church charges for marriages. Given the charges I should think that the cost of marrying was a challenge to many people at the beginning of the 19th century.

I must now try to chase up Hannah Giles.
Thanks again.
