I have for some time beeing trying to find out the Surname of Eliza that Thomas Married the only information about there Marriage is a record at the Wantage Registra and that is 1859 vol 2c page 659 this only say He was married then but not whome she was born at East Hanney about 1842 at the time of there Marriage would make her 17yrs old thanks.

Hi Denzall,

These appear to be muddy waters.

From the Free BMD web site:

Marriages December Quarter 1859
Church Sarah Wantage 2c 659
Collins Eliza Giles Wantage 2c 659
Harris Thomas Wantage 2c 659

Marriages December Quarter 1859
Povey Hannah Taylor Abingdon 2c 639
Wheeler Thomas Wantage 2c 639

Unfortunately Free BMD does not as yet have the images available for 1859 marriages. I would be GUESSING that the entry for Thomas Wheeler should be 2c 659 but perhaps someone else is able to assist with this.

Good luck,
