Good night, Trish, sleep well.
Yes, I've had my brekkie, ready to go again but I think I'd better leave this thread until the poster comes back.
T'was fun though, wasn't it?

I'm in Canada, haven't had my breakfast yet.
Guess with your name, you're on the other side of the world.

Gina, this marriage is on BVRI:

DENNIS, Richard Marriage
Wife: Tamzen TALBOT
Marriage Date: 28 May 1836 Recorded in: Wyke Regis, Dorset, England

I would say that Tamzen and Thomasine are one and the same.

Thanks Kath, That makes sense. I have several children so anyone would do. So easy when you have a brain. I have been going round in circles over here for ages. Thanks heaps, Gina

There is this birth which would fit with the youngest son on the 1841 census:-

William Stephen Dennis
Dec. qtr. 1840, Dorchester, VIII, 57

You could order this and give the parent's first names as a reference checking point, so they only supply the certificate if it's the right one. This would give you the mother's maiden name.

I've looked on the IGI for a marriage but can't find one.

I have looked for a marriage every where I can think of. I don't think the parish RICHARD DENNIS b 1812-13 was married in is available on line. I can find him in the 41 census in Wyke Regis with his wife Thomasine but no success at finding a marriage or her Last name. Can anyone help or suggest where I might be able to search. I am in Aust so on line is all I've got. Regards Gina
