Unusually there are three STEER entries on the GRO marriage index entries in the March quarter 1852 for St Germans Vol 5 Page 60 - Eliza STEER, James Honey STEER and Thomas STEER, the one interloper was Mary Ann POUND.



Clearly Thomas married much younger cousin Eliza as his second wife. Thomas and James were brothers. They were both baptised in Whitstone, Cornwall, sons of James STEER and Mary - Thomas on 25.6.1812 and James Honey on 5.2.1815

I can't find James and Mary Ann after their marriage, does anyone know where they went? Is anyone following this line?

I think I have the three STEER participants in the 1851 census
