Marriage

Berkeley married Mary Cole (who also passed under the name of Tudor), the daughter of a local publican and butcher. After his death, she asserted that the marriage had taken place on 30 March 1785, but the earliest ceremony of which there is incontrovertible proof was a wedding in Lambeth Church, Surrey, on 16 May 1796.
