This could be 1 x William or 2 x William! I have 3 marriages - 13 Jun.1799 to Ann Harding, 14 Jun.1807 = Elizabeth Allen, 29 July 1838 to Sarah Windmill. I suspect it is likely to be two different Williams, and the only wayI can idetify him/them particularly appears to be by their age(s) and father's name. I believe Ann (nee Harding) died in 1838, so the marriage in that year to Sarah Windmill (who was a widow by the way) might be a 2nd one, but to which William? The fathers concerned are likely to be Joseph Slade, or another William Slade. I hope there are enough details above for someone to be able to clarify this problem for me.> Eileen. You should look at Heather Rohrer's "The Roads Family of Buckinghamshire and One-Place Studies of Waddesdon,..." on rootsweb.ancestry.com. She has the William who married Ann and Sarah as son of Joseph with chr dates (indicated as birth dates) for him (1777) and siblings. I would guess that the 1838 marriage included his father's name. She takes the Slades back to early 1600s and forward one or more generations. She also has the William who married Elizabeth Allen as from Thornton, Bucks and dying in Quainton. She has three children for him. She does included the witnesses for the two earlier marriages. Have fun, Charlotte
