Marriage Look Ups please

Shortie

master brummie
Thomas Jefcoate married Rhoda Jones on 16 December 1839. Could I have Thomas's father's name please and also witnesses.

Also Mary Jefcoate - I am not sure if this one is mine, as there are two - one being at Aston Juxta.

Mary Jefcoate married William Quibell on 9 November 1859. Is her father's name William by any chance? If so,witnesses would be valuable to me.

Grateful thanks. Shortie

Thank you very much Shera, this helps a great deal with elimination. My own family was Jefcoate (as spelled by my grandmother and her family), but going back a generation, the name was spelt Jefcott. All the Jefcotts came from the same father as a Jefcoate - so I have to 'collect' them all and eliminate. A bit of a job, but it keeps the brain cells working. Thank you so much. Shortie
