Can some kind person who has more experience than me, do me a kindness please.
I have an Elizabeth Jane Haydon b. 1865 in Bradninch, Devon.
I have found a marriage for her on Freebmd in Hackney, London in September quarter 1908. This is correct as the family moved to Islington in the 1800's. However there are three ladies in total on the listing, but only two men.
Can anyone with perhaps Ancestry find the husband for Elizabeth Jane. Maybe also where they were on the 1911 Census too.
Thanks

Does this tally?

Name: Elizabeth Jane Haydon
Age: 35
Estimated birth year: abt 1873
Spouse Name: Gerald Herbert Brook
Spouse Age: 48
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 5 Sep 1908
Parish: St John the Evangelist, Finsbury Park
County: Middlesex
Borough: Hackney
Father Name: Frederick Haydon Deceased Gentleman
Spouse Father Name: John Brook

This would appear to be the correct Vol and Page numbers:

BROOK Gerald Herbert Hackney 1b 838

ancestry has 5 listed too, 4 in islington and elizabeth in hackney

there's obviously some sort of problem as different districts shouldn't be on same page

Gosh thanks for your speedy replies, just went orft to make a cuppa.
I dont think it does tally, Jonesey.
Elizabeths' father was a Christoper Haydon, and her mother Susannah [nee Davey]. I am 99 percent certain she was born in 1865. Definitely, definitely in Bradninch.
Do the Islington marriages tally at all Cagsie, I cannot find them on freebmd, or else I am doing something wrong.
Still a newbie at these lookup thingyamebobs.
sorry for being a bit dim.

43 was rather old for a first marriage - have you found her unmarried in 1901?

Ooooh sorry folks, had to rush out for a couple of hours.
Thank you all so much for your help. Yes I did know Christopher ended up in the Poor House, he was a debtor and was sent to prison a few years before. ANOTHER black sheep.
All the other info on the Haydons of Bradninch seem correct, and Jessie DID marry Wm Dolby. The witnesses were her siblings. But the marriage of Elizabeth seems to be a bit of a mystery. I cannot find a death for her, so presume she survived into the 20 Century.
