Hi
I have William Maslen marrying Hannah Maslen at Marden on 1-10-1798. I am trying to find out firstly if Hannah's name was really Maslen and secondly her parents.
Hope someone can help please.
Cheers
Bob

Do you have a copy of the marriage entry and do you know if Hannah came from Marden? If not do you know where she was born? If she was still alive in 1851, a census entry would give an indication of the latter. Cheers Dave

Hi Dave
I have a copy of the Bishop Transcripts for Marden - this is all it says:
"1798 William Maslen of this Parish and Hannah Maslen of this Parish were married by Banns the first day of October 1798"
I suppose that means she was at least living there at the time. As far as census goes I don't have access to them. I did look at FreeCEN but to no avail.
I only looked at births and there's an Ann Maslen christened 11/10/1778, d of Gifford Maslen & Susanna along with a few others but you can check marriages too.
Have a check on the full IGI search on familysearch.org site if you haven't already.

Hi
Thanks H for that info. Gotta say I have trawled Hugh Wallis' site and IGI and the Ann you mention is currently my favourite. I suppose Hannah and Ann could be interchanged dependent on how good the clerk's hearing was. What do you think?

I think it's probably a good bet. We've come across loads like it in registers and census records especially for Hannah/Ann/Anna/ Anne but the best of ours was Israel for Ezra - caused confusion for ages.
I've hunted through Phillimores Wiltshire Vols 1-14 this morning but can't find a marriage for Gifford Maslen to Susannah anywhere. I bought a few Wilts Parish transcripts for christenings and deaths but, unfortunately, haven't got a transcript for Marden registers. Have you had a look whether Wilts FHS sells one?
