Dear Listers, I have been trying to find a marriage between William HEATH and Hannah CUNDELL. When one of their children died in the U.S., the death certificate showed that her mother's maiden name was Hannah CUNDELL, born in Sheffield. I have been unable to find a marriage between these two. Their first child was born about 1844. The family emigrated to the U.S. about 1855. However, on freebmd, I found a marriage in 3rd Quarter 1840 between William HEATH and Hannah DODDS in Sheffield (Vol 22, page 421). Perhaps Hannah CUNDELL was a widow, previously married to DODDS. Does someone have suggestions on how I could determine if Hannah DODDS was previously Hannah CUNDELL? Thanks, Charles Olney Arizona, USA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
hello Charles, That page of the GRO index lists 8 names, including William HEATH and Hannah DODDS, but they did not marry eachother. Having checked the Sheffield Marriage index published by the FHS I can sort them into the following couples: HEATH William WIGFULL Ann SOLITT John DODDS Hannah WOOD John POWER Mary Ann WOODHEAD Joseph THOMPSON Elizabeth Ann and Hannah can be alternative forms of the same name, so your question may still be relevant, but relating to the surname WIGFULL rather than DODDS.
