Just realised that i have been talking to you twice, once on my request and once on yours for Elizabeth. So when we met at the show, we actually are related and didn't know it? or am i completly off tract here?

Lisa, Yep You've replied on my topic, this one; & I've replied to yours, plus the one about Peartree cottage;  & I don't know yet if we are related.   I'm usually the one off tract, or off tangent anyway. Cheers John

This is all at Souldrop, unless otherwise stated.

William Headland son of Thomas (& assumed Dorothy) Headland baptised on 13 Dec 1719, I have being buried on 30 Dec 1720.

Later there is a marriage of William Headland (widower) to Eliz Evans on 6 Jan 1772.  This is after burial of Eliz wife of William Headland on 20 Aug 1771.

There are baptisms of John 1755, William 1758, Simon 1768, & Thomas 1773, all sons of William & Eliz Headland.

Burial of William Headland on Oct 16 1812 (in PR states 'father of Simon & Thomas')

Question 1.  Is there another William Headland born in Souldrop to Thomas & Dorothy that could be the one who married the two Elizabeths ?

Question 2. Who & where is the Elizabeth he married first ?

Question 3. Is there an age on the burial of William in 1812 ?

Cheers John

Hello Lisa,  I was hoping to draw you into this. Is there a recorded baptism at Souldrop for William 1740 ?  What confused me, was that on your GR tree you have William b 1719.  I have Souldrop PRs if you want anything checking.

Got to go, there's a plane to catch in the morning.  Keep watching this space.

Regards John

Hi John,
I have been going back over the details of Elizabeth and William with another relative and we too are also confused.
 what i know for sure from the bedford records is that Thomas Hadland baptised 1773 had parents William Headland  and Elizabeth Evans and a sister  Dorothy 1776. William was a widower when he married Elizabeth Evans (his first wife was also Elizabeth and they had children John, William and Simon.....is this your Elizabeth Allen, who was his first wife?,She died about 1771). 

What We can't find is a record of the the marriage to the first Elizabeth or Williams Baptism.

Via One World Tree i found the information that said that this William's parent were Thomas Hadland and Dorothy Johnson However!

My relative bought the parish records books and she has the information of Thomas Hadland and Dorothy Johnson as having

William 1719  died 1720
Mary 1722
Thomas 1724
Elizabeth 1726
Thomas 1729
Martha 1730
Sarah 1733

But there is no 2nd william born around 1730.  However i have found a William born 13 oct 1729 Carlton, Bedfordshire to a Joseph Hadland and Elizabeth. Is this him?

Although The details I have for William have him with a daughter Dorothy (sister to Thomas : Above) is this a family name carried on?

have you got any closer to finding William's parents yet?

Hope this all makes sense?
regards
Lisa

Thomas HEADLAND, labourer, was Souldrop parish clerk in 1803...Simon HEADLAND is also listed on Defence Muster at Souldrop...so they were under 55 at least.

There is an interesting William HEADLAND entry on the Bedford Gaol page too  ;D
