Yes I am having a much better day and in fact my whole disposition has improved over the past 2 or 3 days and definitely an improvement on the week ending April 14.
The couple that married in 1912 are certainly not mine. The witness - Percy - fits the above and the father was John Johns a Miner.
May I suggest that you not spend any more time on this particular line of enquiry?
Thanks for clearing that matter up.

This is definitely more interesting than the idea I tried to 'ram down everyone's throat' that I put forth in the Cornwall County-wide forum thread that I started on December 29, 2011 entitled "No father named on birth certificate -- but -". Now I am the one choking!!
This marriage in the 1st quarter certainly coincides with their departure date. A whole new line of enquiry is opening up.
Meanwhile, regardless of who the parents of Richard Henry are and how arrived to the home of the Bray family when Susan Jane gave birth, my cousin is pretty convinced that Richard Henry was the father.
Now to follow that line of enquiry forward [or back-track as the case may be].
Thanks again for your assistance.

Coromandel, you may be amused by this below - I was:
1911 census - Nicholas is still at Wheal Vor, Breage with whom appears to be now his 3rd wife. They are both in their 70's and have been married 8 years. Nicholas was very secretive about his past life. Here is how he describes himself - English born and no occupation - Nothing about his past whatsoever!!
I've had an amusing afternoon chasing him down
Off-line for a while now.

The marriage certificate arrived today. And is the right one
Not only does it confirm Richard's father as Nicholas, but a witness to the wedding on March 17, 1913 was Laura Williams who before her marriage was Susan Jane Bray's sister.
He is indicated as a Miner which I presume he took to as even then it paid more than a labourer would earn when he resided with the Bray widow and was helping to raise Joseph Henry. We also know that within a very short period of time after their wedding they departed for Boston MA. and shortly thereafter, Laura, after dumping Mr. Williams went as well.
Now my $64,000 question is did Elizabeth die in the US and he returned at some point [which I have yet to find] and die in England or did they both reside for the rest of their lives in Boston?
