Find Ancestors

Hi,
I'm searching for my great great grandparents' marriage, so far no luck! Francis Berry, born about 1811 in Cornwall, married Charlotte, born about 1816 in Oxfordshire, don't know her surname or the year of their marriage, Charlotte died in 1848, and I think Francis remarried in 1851, but I can't find his first marriage anywhere!
Hopefully,
Georgina

Not too sure how someone b. 1811 could be widowed when they married in 1828? The marriage posted for Francis and Charlotte says that they are both widowed? Am I missing something please?

Wow!! Thank you everyone for all this information, you've given me loads to go on, and one or two ideas where to go next.
Many thanks.

GEORGINA
Francis Berry married Charlotte Kimber 26/5/1834 at Oxford St Thomas.

I like the look of that one better than the Charlotte Morris marriage. I think the Morris marriage is a little too early.

Margaret can you give us the source for your information please?

A public member tree on Ancestry has her marriage to Francis Cree Berry.
