Father Matthew Gotham JEFFERSON, [G-D(MB)], b. 13 Jul 1813, Woolwich, Kent, England , d. 15 Oct 1886, Avenue House, Avenue Road, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England (Age 73 years) Mother Mary Ann Elizabeth BATES, b. Bef 1819, Holborn, London, England , d. Abt Feb 1905, 29, Lammas Park Road, Ealing, Middlesex, England (Age ~ 86 years) Married 21 Sep 1840 St. John’s Church, Hackney, London, England - GRO ref: JEFFERSON, Mathew Gotham q3 1840 Hackney RD 3 104
Often finding a couple in the census following the marriage clarifies the bride or groom. However, in this case it shows that Matthew was married to a mary Ann - but 3 of the 4 brides on the page were called Mary Ann!
possible brides: BATES, Mary Ann; LITTLEWOOD, Mary Ann; SMEDLEY, Mary Ann
Fortunately this marriage was in London (the area covered by the LMA) and with the records on Ancestry it is clear that Matthew married Mary Ann BATES.

Family Frank Arthur BRETTINGHAM, b. 7 Nov 1859, Kensington Reg Dist, London, England , d. 25 Dec 1926, Duncan, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada (Age 67 years) Married Jun Q 1885 Paddington Reg Dist, London, England - GRO ref: Jefferson, Eleanor to Brettingham, Frank Arthur q2 1885 Paddington RD 1a 140
Not found in marriages on Ancestry (from Anglican PRs held at the LMA)
The Guild of One-Name Studies marriage index shows that p.130 in this quarter was a Register Office marriage, so it would seem that this was either a marriage at a register office or in a non-Anglican Church, with a registrar present.
