However, Mary Ann's father may be incorrect as information on her death certificate suggests she was the daughter of James WILLIAMS and Sarah BAKER.

Also, it is interesting that James' residence is recorded as Church Town. His parents (I believe to be William EDDY and Elizabeth ROWE) were recorded as living at Truthwall in the 1841 census and 1851 census, i.e. either side of this marriage in 1845. I have checked for other marriages for a James EDDY, where he is recorded as of Truthwall, or Botallack, but can find none appropriate whose father is William. Therefore, I can only suggest that James had already moved out of the family home prior to marrying.
