Need help with Joseph
« on: Wednesday 22 April 15 19:12 BST (UK) »
To day a long awaited marriage certificate arrived and now have doubts if I have the correct Joseph.

Joseph Williams born 1806 (c) Olveston Gloucestershire. Parents James 1772-1856 and Mary Thomas 1764-1829. Siblings James b 1801. George b 1802. Mary b 1808 and John b 1816.

The certificate that arrived was a marriage between Joseph Williams (full age) and Elizabeth Skinner (full age)  married in Westbury upon Tyrm  on the 5 November 1838.  Elizabeth's father is called Charles but all they have is Joseph's father  deceased no name or occupation.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I have the wrong Joseph what happened to the original?

Are you certain that he married, as there is this Joseph in 1851 in Wales, age slightly wrong unless it was a late baptism?

Could be Groom, only 4 years out and because he was baptised in 1806 may not be his birth year. See if I can find more out about Joseph the second.  Just out of interest the whole family were farmers.

Thanks Groom.

Hi Helina,
Tried looking up a baptism for Joseph WILLIAMS, c.1806, but unfortunately the records are held at Bristol Records Office.
