Missing Spouse

I have an Elizabeth Hooper Prynn born 1848 Menheniot Cornwall.

I have found her marriage in 1865 but there is a spouse missing from the entry.


Marriages Jun 1865 (>99%)
Nankivell Martha Liskeard 5c 123
Prynn Elizabeth Hooper Liskeard 5c 123
Stephens Edward Liskeard 5c 123

I can't find her as Elizabeth H Stephens on any census records after 1865 and wondered if anyone might please be able to figure out who the missing spouse is?

Thankyou.

The original scan for the marriage of William Cowl definitely shows page number as 123 not 143.

Have sent a correction

Oh well done Safc.

That is brilliant.

Thankyou very much for looking Dea. So it was William Cowl after all.

Thanks Mike.

Much appreciated.

Wonder why she is still named as Elizabeth Hooper Prynn on the passenger list instead of Mrs Cowl ??

David Report 17 Jun 2015 12:25

It has Prynn in brackets so I am assuming it is referring to her maiden name.
