finding that marriage before 1837
Clues lurked like chirpy birds around my family tree, but I still hadn't worked out who Mary Creed, born 1811 West Pennard had married. I plugged the names into the Somerset Marriage Index, now online at findmypast, and only the marriage at Pylle 1835 seemed to fit. I looked at children baptised at Pylle 1835-1841 as shown on familysearch, and the name Rhymes came up. When I searched for Mr Rhymes marrying in 1835, here comes the man, with the reference exactly matching Mary's, telling me he was the groom. The census confirmed Mary's birthplace. That just leaves one of the nine Creed siblings yet to find, and I believe he died in America as a young man.
