What is John Wesley's Wedding Anniversary? - Wife's name?

Feb. 19, 1751 -- from WESLEY_FAMILY_BOOK_OF_DAYS, A (1994, Susan Pellowe,  compiler and editor, Renard Publications, Aurora, IL)

On this date, John Wesley marries Mrs. Mary Vazeille, a merchant's widow who has four children.  She had nursed JW in her home in Threadneedle Street when he badly sprained an ankle.  It was not a good match, however.  She was jealous of his work and after several years together, they cease to live together.
