This couple married in Devon in 1852. Their marriage certificate records the ceremony at the parish church in Great Torrington; they were both aged 22, previously unmarried, and gave their address as Mill Street.
Edward was a labourer, son of labourer Joseph Welsh. Jane Yeo (1831–1899) was a daughter of Richard Yeo and Susanna Pilliphant [note 1]. They married after the reading of banns, so were both resident in the parish. Neither father acted as a witness, which suggests that they were not present.
The assistant curate John Cawston conducted the ceremony; he wrote Edward’s second forename as Saunders but crossed through the ‘u’. The correct spelling Sanders is confirmed by the groom’s signature.
