1829-1835 James Rowland b. 1809 marries Mary Unknown, almost certainly in Somerset, likely in Stawley or Milverton
a James Rowland married Mary Ann Palmer in West Bagborough in 1833- IGI Contributed, not overly reliable!! West Bagborough ~ 10 k NW of Milverton ~18 k NW of Stawley Did not find a baptism for a Mary A Palmer near Stawley on Dusty Docs-FreeReg
But, more likely, a James Rowland married Mary Spiller in Staplegrove on 25/2/1833.Staplegrove just to the E of Norton Fitzwarren, which itself is ~ 5 k SE of Bishops Lydeard , so in fact not that near Stawley where Mary was born - Stawley maybe 15 k W of Staplegrove Did not find a baptism for a Mary A Spiller near Stawley on Dusty Docs-FreeReg
