Hello All, I have been looking at the backup photocopies that I have for Kingsclere. When William MILES Married Sarah LAWRENCE 13 April 1845 at Greenham their witnesses were Thomas WAITE Martha LAWRENCE and Harriet FULK, were they related to either family in any way?. When William MILES widow, married Elizabeth Smithers 11 October 1854 in Guildford, Surrey. Witnesses were George LEGG and Mary LEGG, could they be from Kingsclere. William was my 3 x great grandfather, he did not know anyone in Guildford only his daughter Sarah Jane MILES spinster who went to work there. When George MILES married Elizabeth JEWEL married on the 15 December 1849 the witnesses were George and Martha LONG who were they.? When Thomas MILES married Eliza COLLINS 15 October 1853 Kingsclere, one of the witnesses was Harriet MILES, there is not Harriet MILES in my family, could it have been Harriet MILES daughter of William MILES and Elizabeth WOODHOUSE, or have I got a Harriet MILES that I have missed on my family tree? Can anyone help, many thanks. Regards Barbara Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants, UK BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk

Hi Barbara Can't help you with any of these. The Lawrences I have are from all over the place > When William MILES widow, married Elizabeth Smithers 11 October 1854 > in Guildford, Surrey.

An Elizabeth Legg married in 'clere in 1750, she could have had brothers and descendants still there in 1850s. Lots of the time tho' witnesses are un-related - often the parish clerk but could even be someone who happened to be passing by. > When George MILES married Elizabeth JEWEL married on the 15 December > 1849 the witnesses were George and Martha LONG who were they.? I have a George James Long married Maria Ann Peart on 26 Feb 1838 at St. Mary. Plus Elizabeth Long married William Miles in 1854 so chances are they are related by marriage. > When Thomas MILES married Eliza COLLINS 15 October 1853 Kingsclere, > one of the witnesses was Harriet MILES, there is not Harriet MILES in > my family, could it have been Harriet MILES daughter of William MILES > and Elizabeth WOODHOUSE, or have I got a Harriet MILES that I have > missed on my family tree?
