Would someone please be kind enough to take a look and let me know what info is on the marriage cert for

Elizabeth Long Bray to William Wigley Smith.

Apparently the image is viewable.

For Ref: FreeBMD Sept 1868 Pancras 1b 204

I need to know how this Elizabeth fits into the Bray family as a whole.

I do have a Charles Long Bray but I'm not aware of his having Elverton in his name or of him having a daughter Elizabeth.

My Charles had two children that I have found so far; Amos Long Bray and Jessie Long Bray.

Charle's father was also Charles Long Bray.

I'm just trying to get a clearer picture on the family. They seem to have originated in Isle of Wight so not easy to research before they came over to the mainland.

Thanks.
