Check Boyd's marriage index if you haven't already, as several Somerset parishes are in it The Society of Genealogists library has a big collection of transcripts, many typed, some indexed -- could be a lot easier to search than the original registers or BTs

Hi Emma, apologies- you must think me really ignorant! I've been off line for a few days due to problems with my eldest boy. Yes I have the son, but ancestry does not seem to have their marriage. I have been to the angelfire site and got some good info- unfortunately not for this marriage!! Never mind- i'll keep trying,it is bound to turn up sooner or later. Many thanks, Sinead

Sinead, Can't help with the marriage unfortunately but thought I'd let you know just in case you weren't aware Evercreech parish records are databased on ancestry(.)co(.)uk - I had a look and no sign of George and Lucy although there is a birth for George Rowles 1808 son of George and Lucy Rowles. Also have you seen www.angelfire(.)com/or/evercreech/ Emma.

Hi all, I hope you can give me some pointers as to how I can locate a marriage. George Roles 1765-1826 was born and died in Evercreech , Somerset. He married a Lucy born 1763 place unknown and she died in 1825 in Evercreech. How can I find where they were married to get her maiden name and any children born early in the marriage? The only thing I can think of is trawling all the Somerset parish recorda until I find them- the problem is that this could be a very time consuming if not impossible task. I would be very grateful for anybodies ideas. Many thanks, Sinead
