Just to back up my previous point: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?queryType=1&resultcount=1&Edoc_Id=60997 or maybe even http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?queryType=1&resultcount=1&Edoc_Id=1004093 May have some clues for you :) Tony On 27/04/2010 10:55, Jeff Coleman wrote: > If you have two possibles with the same name it is worth tracking both > forward through time, to see if you can find the fate of both. > Jeff > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Moira Fidler"<mofid42@tiscali.co.uk> > To:<BERKSHIRE@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 9:39 AM > Subject: [BRK] Help I'm Stuck! > > > >> Hi Everyone >> >> I have a Hannah Hanson who married Charles Grover in 1824 >> > From census it would appear Hannah was born in Ashampstead about 1798. >> Although the banns for their marriage were read in St Mary Burghfield >> (where they later lived) they actually married on 3 Jun 1824 at Bradfield >> Church Berkshire >> >> My problem-- there are TWO Hannah Hanson's born in Ashampstead to >> different parents, one in 1798 d/o William& Elizabeth and one in 1799 >> d/o John& Ann and I don't know which one could be mine >> >> Hannah's age on census is more consistant with the one born in 1798, she >> named one of her children William and there is a William Hanson on the >> Ashampstead 1851 census who states he comes from Bradfield Berkshire. >> >> Please can anyone help? >> >> Are there any transcripts of marriages from Bradfield Church which might >> tell me who the witnessess might be? >> >> regards >> MOIRA >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >> BERKSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the >> quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> >> > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BERKSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >
