there is a marriage at familysearch that could be worth considering

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N6RN-YVC

Name: James Hughes
Spouse's Name: Mary Prince
Event Date: 17 Jun 1816
Event Place: Wiltshire, Berkshire, England
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: I03128-3

the 554 records in that batch
https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=+batch_number:I03128-3

mainly say 'Trowbridge, Wiltshire', but those that don't, say 'Wiltshire, Berkshire'.

that is the only Hughes marriage in the batch
and also the only Prince marriage


the Ancestry site appears to be non-functional right at this moment, I was going to ask whether either James or Mary Hughes had been found in the 1841 census for instance, or Moses had been found in that census before his marriage

Thank you Reggie :-)
