Dolman George & Eliza Bristow , Marriage @1847 Pt2

I can't find a GRO entry for the birth of Ellen
DOLEMAN around 1846.
I checked the 1851 census original and she is definitely described as being '5'.
However, I see that in 1861, she was younger than Albert.
I therefore guess that she must be this entry below, and that her age was wrongly recorded in the 1851 census:

Civil Birth Record
1850 Dec qtr
Ellen DOLMAN
District: Chippenham
Vol.8, page 318.
(taken from GRO indexes on FreeBMD)

I will therefore amend what I said before, and suggest that the marriage for George and Eliza must have been around 1847.
However, I now can't find a GRO birth record for Alfred DOLMAN, and we also don't seem to have him in 1851. Hmmm, interesting!
I will ponder further.

Dolman George & Eliza Bristow, Marriage @ 1847

Dear Andy

I have now been able to look through this for you, and have the following
comments:


1) Marriage search

I see that you said that George and Elizabeth's first child was an Alfred (1848).
However, I note from the 1851 census, that there was an Ellen, aged 5 in 1851.
This means that they were married prior to 1846 (assuming that they got married).

We therefore revisited the marriage search in the GRO indexes, but still couldn't find a match.


2) 1841 census

Ages of adults in the 1841 census were rounded to the nearest 5 years.
Children's ages were generally recorded accurately. This entry does appear to be the George DOLEMAN that you are looking for. We checked for the marriage of James and Ann, and noted that this was as follows:

DATE: 27 NOV 1826 PLACE: Chippenham by Banns
GROOM: DOMAN James Bach of this parish
BRIDE: ELMS Anne Spin of this parish


3) Baptism search

From the places given for the birth-place of George, I suggest that Bremhill and Chippenham parishes are searched for an entry for him, c.1827. I will be going to the new Wiltshire Archives in a couple of days time, so if you would like me to look for this, let me know.


4) Marriage search

That still leaves us wanting to find the marriage of George and Eliza.

I suggest that the Chippenham Registrar could be asked to look for this, in their records.
Given that we now know the date of the first child, this means that George was aged only about 19 when she was born. That shouldn't leave much of a time-window for this to happen.
