As you have Louisa's marriage to William Oscar FELL - what was her maiden name?  If she and Joseph GASKELL had any children after 1921 her maiden name should appear on the GRO index. 

You are absolutely right Dave with Elizabeth Wait HALL.   The actual marriage to Thomas BROWNING took place in Bitton - see Familysearch - in 1848 and gives Thomas's father's name as well.

They were not living in Banwell in 1871 but in Weston-super-Mare in Ormonde Villa in South Side.  The retired Bank Manager mentioned in the original query as a neighbour had the surname HALL - might be well to check whether there was any connection.

Albert Edward, Emma Hall, and Ellen Ada BROWNING were all christened at Emmanuel Church in Weston - see our transcriptions.

There is a marriage of a Thomas BROWNING in Keynsham in the first quarter of 1848 (Vol 11 P107). One of the possible spouses is Elizabeth Wait HALL. This is interesting because in the 1851 Census Thomas, Elizabeth and daughter Clara Rose were living in Bristol (where Thomas was born) and living with them was Thomas's sister-in-law Matilda HALL. At that time Thomas was a Tea Dealer. (In 1861 he was a Grocer.)

If you think this might be the right marriage, I suggest you obtain the marriage certificate. Hopefully this will confirm your assumption and provide details of the bride and groom's fathers' names and occupations.

Thanks, Dave.  Google has been very useful.

I'm sure that we have been asked this before  - yes, we have! - see this page      Did you contact  the Local Library as suggested before?   As far as I can see neither was buried in Weston Cemetery.
