Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help me or tell me whether I am on the right track. I am researching my STUBBS family and I have a Matthew STUBBS who marries a widow by the name of Mary WARBURTON in 1764 at Witton. Matthew STUBBS dies in 1775. In 1777 a Mary STUBBS marries a Richard NIELD. It is easy to assume that this Mary is the widow of Matthew especially as both Matthew and Richard lived at a place called Lordship. I am keen to confirm this as well as the maiden name of Mary who married Matthew STUBBS. Mary who married Richard NIELD appears to be the daughter of Hugh and Martha BROOM who resided at a place called Harlington which I have been unable to locate. So I am looking for a marriage of a Mary BROOM to a WARBURTON. I can't find one and don't know where to look. I did find a Mary BROWN who I thought looked promising and I found a Thomas WARBURTON who died in 1764 but this Thomas appears to have died before Mary WARBURTON married Matthew. Any ideas or assistance would be appreciated. Regards, Christine

There Harlington a village in Bedfordshire, about 15 miles south of Bedford? In the late 1700s it would have been close to one of the main stagecoach routes between Cheshire and London. Carl.
