Hi June. I'm not sure whether this is the same couple, as the children I found were al baptised at Margate, but families did move around in those times. Otherwise it might be a cousin to your Nathaniel. I have the following: Nathaniel Wales (of this parish) = 18 Oct 1767 to Anne May of St. Lawrence, at St. John the Baptist, Margate; other children from this union: *William (Wales) b 21 March / bap 2 April 1769 Margate *Hannah (Whales) b 25 March / bap 10 April 1768 Margate *Anne (Whales) b 4 May / bap 19 May 1771 Margate *Nathaniel (Whales) b 2 Nov / bap 3 Dec 1780 Margate *Thomas (Whales) b 1 May / bap 29 May 1774 Margate Nathaniel was baptised 07 Nov 1738 at St. John the Baptist, Margate as the son of John Whales/Whale and Hannah Overy; other children from John and Hannah: *William b 1 March / bap 18 April 1736 Margate; d 1 March / bur 3 March 1810 *James bap 6 Aug 1740 Margate; d Dec 1803 John first married Mary Edgerton, 5 Nov 1704 at Margate; children John (1706-1790?), Nathaniel (1713) and William & Mary (1717); Mary E. burried 21 Jan 1717 John married for the 2nd time to Mary Paine, 5 Jan 1717 Margate; children (possibly) Elizabeth (1724), John (1727) and William (1729); Mary P. burried 14 Oct 1734 John married Hannah Overy 11 May 1735 at Margate; Hannah O. burried 25 June 1772 as widow of John; John was burried 24 Nov 1750. Hope this helps ;o) Regards, Kya Milo JunePym@aol.com wrote: Hi Kya, I have a Mary Wales married to my g.g grandfather (he was a widower) 1815. Mary was born 1778 at St. Peters to a Nathaniel and Anne. Any idea when Nathaniel was born and his parents? Regards June --------------------------------- Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.
