Wolleys at Dudley
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 17:32 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
On the 20th February 1815 Thomas Perry married Fanny Woolley at St Thomas in Dudley. But in trying to identify the parents of Fanny I find on the IGI that there are two possibilities:
1.   Bp on the 25th February 1798, the daughter of Mason Woolley and Anne
2.   Bp on the 16th December 1798, the daughter of Thomas Woolley and Fanny

Today I've received a copy of the marriage entry in the hope that one of the witnesses would help me identify the parents; and one of the witnesses was George Woolley (brother?), the other being Mark Bond. But when I again search the IGI for a possible matching baptism for George Woolley I find again two possibilities:
1. Bp 1794 the son of James Woolley & Sarah
2. Bp 1803 the son of Benjamin Woolley & Ann

So none of the parents match with those for Fanny.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might proceed?

Just noticed on the freereg web site that a Fanny Woolley and her sister Elizabeth were both baptised on the 24th December 1809. They were the daughters of James & Sarah Woolley, who also had a son George.

If Fanny was, say 13, at the time of her baptism, then this would be a possible explanation. Her brother George (Bp 1794) witnessing the marriage in 1815.
