    • From index card to Vermont marriages (image on New England HGS website, viewed 13 Apr 2016)
      Shows bride as Elizabeth J Goodhue, resident Maine, aged 21, 1st marriage, born England, father James Goodhue and mother Maria Gotham.
      Groom as W H Berry, resident Maine, aged 24, a Farmer, born England, father Thomas Berry, mother Elizabeth P.
      Married by  J C Houghton, Minister.

      With Boughton under Blean, William's birthplace, not very far from Bredgar, where Elizabeth was from (c. 13 miles), it seems that William and Elizabeth must have known each other before emigrating.
