ohh thanks very much, that looks very likely to be right. Though where JSW Gibson got his information from I don't know!

Oxfordshire / Re: Wroxton (probably) Marriage 1735
« on: Tuesday 27 December 22 18:08 GMT (UK) »
Thanks v. much for looking. Looking again there is a reference to 'Gibson's Oxfordshire Marriage Transcripts' earlier in the note and so it might come from there, if anyone knows what that means?
The ancestry images are frustrating as there is a page that goes down to 1717, then the next page there are som burials from 1742 that are crossed out, then marriages from 1740. I am not sure whether the original has the mistake in it or whether there was a page missed when scanning.
If the record is correct then I'm fairly sure it's the right couple, they had children baptised in Churchill from 1738 and one had 'Dillo' as a first name so it looks very likely.

Oxfordshire / Wroxton (probably) Marriage 1735
« on: Tuesday 27 December 22 16:46 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for a record of a marriage that I think took place in Wroxton in 1735 between John Hughes and Sarah Dillo.
This information comes from a note that a relative made about a decade ago when looking at this branch of the family. Unfortunately there's no source to verify it. I do have an ancestry subscription and I can't find any record there. They do have images of registers for Wroxton on ancestry but there is a gap for marriages between 1717 and 1740!
Would anyone be able to help me find (or disprove) this information!
Many thanks,

I also had difficulties finding mine due to transcription errors. They were fairly common names and I couldn't really see why the transcriptions were wrong e.g. Norman (first name) was Porman etc. Are they done by AI? It looked to me as if they hadn't been read by someone/thing with familiarity with the locations and the names of the time.

Cumberland / Re: Alston: Correct Maiden Name? Armstrong/Elliott/Liddle
« on: Thursday 03 August 17 17:41 BST (UK) »
Thanks so much. That looks really plausible if she definitely is a Liddle, previously married to an Elliott. I just can't work out where that name is coming from!
On family search (which I know can be quite dodgy sometimes) there is a record for her burial which says Hannah Liddle spouse of Archibald Armstrong buried 23 Aug 1805. I've looked put the BT image and for the same date it just has 'Hannah wife of Archibald Armstrong'. I assume somewhere in the mists of family search someone made liddle connection and put in on the record but I have no idea whether to rely on it...
I know that sometimes the BTs miss out detail from the parish registers so I am wondering whether if I can find the parish registers rather than the BT then that will give the right answer...

Cumberland / Alston: Correct Maiden Name? Armstrong/Elliott/Liddle
« on: Thursday 03 August 17 13:01 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I would be grateful for any help in working out the right name for a marriage in Alston. I have looked at the BTs on family search and have the marriage:
29 Sep 1770, Alston
Archibald Armstrong and Hannah Elliott.
She was 36 when she married Archibald so it is quite likely that she was a widow when she married him and Elliott was not her maiden name. Some unsourced records on familysearch and random internet pages have Hannah's name as Hannah Liddle but I am not sure where this is from. I have checked all of the children's baptism records and her burial record on the BT but can't find any additional information.
Does anyone have any access to the parish registers rather than the BTs as I know there is often information there that doesn't make it to the BT? Or does anyone have any better ideas one where I can go from here!
Thanks!

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Rostherne: Baptisms look up please
« on: Friday 05 August 16 16:55 BST (UK) »
Hi Steve, it is some time since I have looked at this part of the family but Nancy Williamson (1804 - sister of your George) is my GGGGG grandmother. I did get some of the info from microfilms of the baptisms in the end.
Looking at my notes for Nancy Daniel (1761) the only likely baptism record that I can find was at Rostherne and says:
7th June 1761 - Nancy daughter of Thomas Daniel of Mere to Mary his wife
That looks likely to me though I don't have any absolute confirmation it is the right person. I have noted that the writing was very faint so I hope that is a correct transcription. I also have a bit more detail of gravestone, banns etc for Nancy and Joseph if it is any help to you.

KGerrad - it is 1811 so pre-Rose's Act and just a brief entry sadly.

Cornwall / Re: 1811 Marriage Licence
« on: Friday 09 January 15 13:12 GMT (UK) »
Many thanks for your replies, that's very helpful.
I think it is his place of origin. He was Portuguese and it says 'native of Oporto' after his entry. Although, the baptisms for his children make it clear he was a mariner and it may be that he was resident in Oporto before the marriage when not at sea.
This was why I was wondering whether the marriage licence etc might have more information as at present I have very little else to go on in finding out more about him.
Many thanks,
