Thank you PricklyHolly - I know you relish a challenge ???

I hope you are going to put up the marriage for me as it clearly is more than the basic FreeBMD?

Here you go...

Jonathan Oddy in the West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

I can't make out John's occupation on the 1841 census.

Possibly......Woolcomber?

Oh hang on....

That 1841 census might not be the right Jonathan Oddy.

There is a Jonathan Addy on the 1851 census...with father John Addy a Woolcomer.

Thank you for all that.
Recently I have not been very successful trying to trace some of the various ancestors and their marriages in IGI c.1800. Are there any other potential sources for this info> Andy quite often comes up with nuggets and I sometimes check out the sources he quotes but now can't remember which branch of the family or their whereabouts that we were dealing with.

I am trying to hang on but my TalkTalk broadband connection keeps dropping out ....

Woolcomber is a good trade for Bradford.

PricklyHolly Report 17 Dec 2015 15:52

I am confused now..

On the 1851 census, there is an Edward Spencer (Remembering there is a witness Edward Spencer on the Jonathan's marriage record) husband of Sarah Ann Spencer.

And....

Marriages Jun 1850 (>99%)
Spencer Edward Bradford Y 23 210
Oddy Sarah Ann Bradford Y. 23 210

Father John Oddy... Occ Comber on her marriage record.
