According to the IGI there were two weddings in Snitterfield on 28 April 1801. Richard HUTCHINS to Elizabeth WHITEWARD Richard HUTCHINGS to Elizabeth MILLWARD Something seems wrong in the "County of Warwickshire" to paraphrase the immortal bard. Is anyone able to help me find if there were actually two weddings that day? If not which is correct. Thanks. Mike in a hot winter day in Whakatane NZ.

According to both the Phillimore transcript and my own transcript the marriage was between Rich. Hutchings and Eliz. Millward. There is, of course, no marriage on the same day to a Whiteward. The groom's family also appear in the Snitterfield registers as Hutchins, both before and after 1801. His baptism may be that of Rich. Hutchins, baptised 14 July 1765, parents John and Mary Hutchins (from my own transcript). However, if so this would make him 37 when he married, which is a bit late. My typed-up transcript on my computer doesn't say that he was a widower, but it doesn't say that he was a bachelor, either, nor does it say whether Elizabeth Millward was a spinster or a widow. Next time I am at Warwick Record Office I will check up. It may not be for some time, so if you desperately need to know, you could get the WRO to send you a printout. There's no baptism of Elizabeth Millward in my Snitterfield transcript at any appropriate time (of course, I might have missed it). There's also no marriage of John Hutchins or Hutchings to a Mary at Snitterfield, (nor is there in Phillimore, so I probably didn't miss that one!). People named Millward also appear as Millard (but not in the Snitterfield registers). Many Millwards/Millards were catholics, by the way.
