William Bryant is NOT married to Sarah. She is his deceased wife's sister, so the vicar forbade the banns.
Ann Bryant is actually Ann Moore, Sarah's daughter.
Little Marina, aged 7, was baptised in the Independent chapel as the daughter of William and Sarah in 1833.
Was she really Sarah's daughter? Sarah would have been 48, and there's no known child in the previous six years after the deaths of both Sarah & William's partners.
Marina died five years later.
Even if there could be a dna test done, I imagine that the bloodlines are so complicated that understanding the results might prove a challenge.
