I can see no such marriage in the IGI, Ancestral File or Pedigree Resource File. I see spurious entries for William Welford but his supposed wife is shown purely as Mrs William Welford.

Roy I probably should have also added or included details that I have for William WELFORD and Margaret JUDD in Banbury, Oxfordshire, both born in North Oxfordshire Banbury & Adderbury respectively. I am primarily undertaking research into my JUDD ancestry in and around Banbury for the 17th century and have details from Manorial Court records that Margaret JUDD was married to one William WELFORD or WELLFORD who was a Gersey Weaver. From Family Search (Marriages) I note that there are entries for "About 1709" in Banbury but also 1710 for Hertford. I have details from the Oxfordshire Marriage Index and also the CD for Banbury PRs, but no marriage for William WELFORD to Margaret JUDD, hence my enquiry in Hertfordshire. I will try the Hertfordshire Records office online to see what further information I may learn. In the meantime should any body be able to offer advice or details this would be much appreciated.
