Wait Marriage look up request
« on: Sunday 13 April 08 12:56 BST (UK) »
Could someone please look at a Gloucestershire marriage for me please?  On the IGI I have found a Thomas Wait marrying an Olave Wimbow in Great Badminton, Gloucestershire, there are 2 dates, one on 8 August 1777 and one on the 18 November 1777.  I would be most grateful if someone could find this marriage for me and let me know the correct dates and name of bride. Also who the witnesses are.

Ruth,

I have transcribed  the Great & Little Badminton Bishop's transcripts (The vicar did not always differentiate which was which!) from 1750 to 1812 and for 1777 is:-


1777
H(?)****  Workman?? and Ann Hort were married by Banns . .10 Feb 1777
John Hort and Jane Hobbs were married by Banns  . . . . . . . . . . .8 April 1777
James Watts? and Ann Collins were married by Banns  . . . . . . 20 April 1777
Joseph Hartland and Elizabeth Cole by Banns . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10? O**
Thomas Waite and Mary Wimbow   by Banns . . . . . . . . .  . . . . 18? N**
Thomas Witts and Ann Sharp by Licence  . . . . . . . . . . . .<unreadable date>


In the BT's for Badminton the vicar invariably gave parts of two calendar years and the last three marriages above are given in the BT's exhibited (that's the word they used) at the Bishop's visitation in 1778 at some nearby centrally placed parish (One with a good living and cellar I expect!!) where many vicars went with their reports.

Just in case you ever need the info. - in 1755 there was:-

William Waite & Hester Tyndell both of this Parish were
married by Banns the 27th day of Jan'y by Thos Payne Chap
lain NB.  This Marriage was Solemnized between Wm Waite  &
Hester  Tyndell with hands? &  marks being signd in the presence
of Sarah Short & James Dowding

It's a pity not all BT's are like that! I have copied it as I considered it written.

Regards

Chas

P.S.  The vicar was the chaplain to the Duke of Beaufort so the marriage may have taken place at the estate's church.
