Thank you Slowhanda, I have followed up some of your info.

I found this Marriage, but I dont think it is the right Mary. Probably its the Mary Ann Rachael EELS b1821 in Southwark.

Mary Ann Rachel EELS married in Shoreditch 1839 to ?, there is a choice of four on the same page, I can't work out which one yet.

Just a coincidence, a Charles BOWDEN was in Shoreditch in 1841.

Also in 1841 a Charles BOWDEN and a Mary EALES were living in Broadclist, St. Thomas, Devon.

I still can't find a suitable marriage for Charles and Mary, it is possible they had both married before.

I will have to do some more digging.
