Married: 22nd December 1857 @ Bristol Register Office to James Mitchell

Both Ann and James were aged 23 and working and living at Bridewell St, Bristol as policemen at the time they married. Charles Hodges, Ann's father, is noted as being a carpenter on their marriage certificate but he doesn't appear to have witnessed the marriage as his signature isn't on the certificate.

We have her marriage certificate.
