Hello List, Can anybody help me with a marriage of John North to a Mary ? in Wilton before Mch of 1836 (birth of the first child). They called their first child James Watts North, so I am thinking Mary's name could be Watts. Would love to know Mary's name and date of marriage. Any help would be greatfully accepted.
Cheers Karenn

On the IGI is this extracted record JOHN NORTH Spouse: MARY MAGGS Marriage: 16 FEB 1835 Saint Martin, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England batch M153142 1794 - 1895 Film 1279368 Not knowing the geography I checked on genuki and Wilton is a borough 3 miles NW of Salisbury Perhaps his wife came from Salisbury?
Hello Trish, Thanks for your reply. Sometimes it takes a neutral person to point out the obvious! I had seen that marriage recorded on the IGI for John North and Mary Maggs but because of the Watts middle name, I kept looking for another marriage. I didn't consider the locality of Wilton and how close it is to Salisbury, so thank you for pointing that out. Maybe Watts comes from a grandmother instead of a mother!
Thanks again.
