Hi George! I take it you already checked the IGI to see if children are listed at Lelant and elsewhere? If, not, then you wnt to do that first. And if you find them with kids at Lealnt, then you want to get a film of the parish register, so you can get more detail. Let me know what you've already done, and then we can take it from there. Ian seems to be temporarily offline again, and I'm muddling thru taxes, but I'll try and do what I can to help.

Also George, have you seen the actual wedding entry, or just the IGI entry? Sometimes the witnesses can prove helpful, frequently a witness will be the parent of either the bride or the groom.

Okay, I went back and re-read the Bryant thread (part 2) so I am a little more grounded in the details now.
Let me see if I can turn up anything.

Okay - found the following children for George and Catherine/Christian:
Richard 11 Jul 1799 George/Christian John 25 July 1801 George/Christian Thomas 15 Sep 1805 George/Catherine
Since George was a widower, we can then look at a few earlier children:
George 26 Dec 1773 George/Catherine William 3 Mar 1776 George/Catherine James 8 Nov 1778 George/Catherine Thomas 14 Jul 1785 (bur. 9 Nov 1788) George/Catherine
George was m1) 22 Jun 1773 at Lelant to Catran Leacher.
So we are looking at George possibly being born in the 1740s.
Do you have a death date for him by any chance?

There is a George Bryant chr. 17 Sept 1749 to a William and Jane Bryant.
Since George named his second son WIlliam, this looks like an excellent possibility. We need to get hold of the P.R. entry for George's first marriage and see who the witnesses are...
(William Bryant m. Jane Tilly 13 Aug 1737 at Lelant - she should be very easy to trace)

Have just had a look through what information I can find, including IGI, and concur with Zenobia's findings.
I also did a search of IGI for all George Bryant baptism entries and agree that the fellow bp. at Lelant in 1749 is probably 'our man'.
My preference would be to find, firstly, a burial for Catherine (LEACHER) and secondly a burial for George before getting in too deep here.
It does look probable that the same George Bryant married (1) Catherine Leacher and (2) Catherine Victor and he would have been about 56 at the time of the baptism of his last (currently) known child in 1805.
Will await any further available information before trying to proceed further with this.
