I am trying to trace the parents / Father of a Meterias / Materas Ryals said to have been born on various Census Records between 1816/1818, Bristol / Thornbury, Gloucestershire. I have found a marriage record for a Materias Ryal to a Robert Kent in the Jun/ Qtr/ 1842 at St Peters Cirencester, Gloucestershire Ref 11 303, however I have been given to understand that the marriage record was not deposited at Cheltenham, Register Office. I am about to contact the St Peters Church, Cirencester, to try to obtain this record, which I hope may give the fathers name of Meterias, however any help would be very much appreciated.

From GlosBMD - the record was sent to the correct place, i.e. Gloucester Records Office

Groom Surname Groom Forename Bride Surname Bride Forename District Parish Building Year Register Entry
KENT Robert RYALS Metereas Cirencester Duntisbourne Abbotts St Peter 1842 1 8

Cirencester and Cheltenham are separate districts. Also, Cheltenham is simply a Register Office - not a Records Office

Which raises a question about Metereas' mother

Or, indeed, whether Abel was her father

I wonder if I could ask the question, as to why its not sure as regards to the Father and mother of Materius, would this be because of the records posted, and thank you again for all response's.
