Your opinion please.

According to Pallot's marriage directory and an extracted entry in the IGI,
a Robert Holder married an Elizabeth Mayo in St Bride Church Fleet Street
London in 1821. That marriage is the only marriage (IGIwise) in the
country having the groom's expected name plus the bride's expected forename
within an appropriate time window.

But all the original poster knows of the couole is that they were
Robert and Elizabeth Holder. There is no evidence of her surname. So

Ah yes I missread that bit of the OP.

the compared incidence should be for, say, a male HOLDER and an
Elizabeth, for which FreeBMD shows over 50 occurrences on the same
page in the period 1837 to 1845, over 11 being in Gloucestershire.

In the 1841 census of Uley is found a Robert Holder (a woolen cloth
worker) with Elizabeth Holder and children.

A Robert Holder died in 1848 and an Elizabeth Holder (born in Uley) plus
remaining family were living in Horsley GLS in 1851.

A Robert s.o. Will'm and Sarah Holder was baptized in Stroud in 1798. The
baptism of Elizabeth Mayo in Uley cannot be found.

I not believe for one nanosecond that the St Bride couple are the south GLS
couple because a return trip to London to be married would have been way
beyond the means of a GLS village cloth worker. I've told somebody, who
up to now believes they are the same people, that I would ask for your
opinion.
