William Clayton
« on: Saturday 09 August 08 06:21 UTC (UK) »
Hello,

I am new at this, but I'm trying to find some information on William Clayton.  He was born in 1826 or 1825 and married Elizabeth Jilson (b. 1836) at some point.  All else that I really know is that he left for Canada from Cambridgeshire around 1870.  I am looking for anything that will help me find out who his parents are.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Justin.

Hi Justin,

Welcome to RootsChat.

On the FreeBMD site:
Marriages Dec 1857 - Chesterton District Ref 3b 1128
Clayton    William       
Gillson    Elizabeth         
Gillson    Rachel         
Stearn    Eliza         
Walldorff Henry        

Chesterton District is in Cambridgeshire.

Could this be their marriage, I know her surname is spelt incorrectly but could be a possible candidate.

Gill

Additional info- Been into Cambridgeshire County Council BMD's & it confirms that William Clayton married Elizabeth Gillson

You guys are amazing!  Thanks so much for your help.  On one of the posts, tempsford said "30 bac lab".  What does this mean?

Thanks again everyone,

Justin.

Hi

Bachelor meant he was a Bachelor at the time of his wedding to Elizabeth ie not married before.

As opposed to "widower" which meant he had had a wife, but didn't at the time of his marriage

But he could of course have been lying, and was actually married at the time of his marriage, in which case he was a bigamist. And don't think it didn't happen
