Bowers/Codington Wedding Book

I've "rescued" a Wedding book which includes an original wedding invitation
and marriage certificate for Hattie C. BOWERS daughter of Mr. & Mrs. J.F.
BOWERS and Charles C. CODINGTON. The couple was married 23 June 1892 at the
home of the brides parents in Annandale, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.
Witnesses were Lewis B. CODINGTON and Lillian J. BOWERS, and the ceremony
was officiated by A. MCWILLIAMS.

I find record of a Charles C. CODDINGTON b. 30 April 1855 in Tewkesbury,
Hunterdon County, NJ and am wondering if this might be the groom. If this is
the groom he would have been in his late 30's at the time. I was also
provided with census information for 1880 on the BOWERS family of Clinton,
Hunterdon Co., NJ including:
Jacob F. BOWERS (b. Nassau) and his wife Josephine BOWERS (b. France) along
with three children, Mary E.; Harriet C. age 10; and Lilian J. age 8 (all b.
NJ).
And census information on the CODDINGTON family of North Plainfield,
Somerset Co., NJ including:

Lewis B. CODDINGTON age 21(b. NJ, parents both b. NJ) and his wife Mary M.
CODDINGTON along with a child Jennie B.
I'm assuming the Lewis is likely a brother to Charles C. CODINGTON the
groom. I'm hoping that someone can identify the couple so that this
beautiful old heirloom can be returned to the family. If you are a member
of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.

Please note that I was not the poster of this information, so I have no more
details about this book. Please visit the site to rescue the book. Thanks.
