the most likely:
There is no record of Joseph Coles marrying Ann in Banwell - is this them..?
Marriages: JOSEPH COLES Spouse: ANN SPROD
Marriage: 15 JUL 1822 Temple, Bristol, Gloucester
- their granddaughter, Ellen, married in the same part of Bristol... the indications are that Joseph came from Somerset but they would have married where Ann was living.
