I have found the other John TRIGG who had a daughter Mary Ann who married James REYNOLDS. The trail is:

John TRIGG (1828) = Phoebe SCIER (or SIER) (1821) Westbury on Severn 1848 Dec 11 713. They are in the 1851 Census (HO107-1959-254-27) with daughter May (sic) A TRIGG (1849) living at Green Bottom, East Dean, with John shown as Iron Miner. They are next door (same page) to Phoebe's parents John (1777) and Margaret (1781) SIER (SEN in the index but clearly SIER on the original).

They are at the same address in 1861 (RG09-1756-33-7) and 1871 (RG10-2601-24-7). In 1861 John SIER had died and they are all in the same household with Margaret SIER as Head and John TRIGG (Iron Miner) as Son-in-law, with Phoebe and children Mary (1849), George (1852), Hester (1855) and Margaret (1860). By 1871 John TRIGG had died (probably Westbury on Severn 1862 Dec 6A 154) because Phoebe is now shown as Widow and only Esther and Margaret are at home. The next entry on the next page in the 1871 Census (RG10-2601-24-8) shows James REYNOLDS (1843), Mary Ann REYNOLDS (1849) and George Edwin REYNOLDS (1871). Their marriage was in 1868 (Westbury on Severn 1868 Dec 6A 420) where for some reason Mary Ann is indexed as TREGG.
