William Collins & Hannah Ayling married by licence in 1758.  William made his mark, Hannah signed.  One witness was Mary Ayling, the other Anthony Woodson (I think).

I have not found an entry in the Hampshire Marriage Allegations for the couple, so the licence was possibly issued in a higher court.

Thanks for the information Nell..what are the usual reasons for licence marriages by comparison with banns being read? I cannot seem to locate witness details in familysearch.org. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place? Thanks chrs Rob

There are all sorts of reasons for marriage by licence - speed, perhaps because the groom might be going abroad or posted overseas.  Others reasons include not wanting everyone else to know too far in advance which is what would happen with posting banns.

Lots of topics on this subject in the RootsChat Lexicon:

Hi Bexlin55 how wonderful!! We are clearly cousins since Susannah is my ggg grandmother through Margaret Henrietta Welsmore Hartley. What was the family talk about these ancestors in your own immediate family? Do any photos of Susannah or her sons/daughters still survive? Thanks for your post.. cheers Rob - Australia

No problem I guess its very lucky if people have photos from so long ago. As you can see I have placed other entries regarding the Hartleys too. They too are interesting family. Margaret's father was Edward who in turn was a chemist in both Portsea & London. Feel free to have a look at my ads. Margaret's daughter Fanny Esther LEE was my great grandmother. Her daughter was a Fanny Esther PATTERSON who was my grandmother. I also descend from Fanny's daughter Edith May COWAN. How do you descend from Margaret? Cheers Rob

Hi Rob, Hope this makes sense....Margaret Henrietta Welsmore Hartley's youngest brother Harry Hartley is my great grandfather. His son George Ernest is my grandfather and his son is my father. Do you have any old family pictures at all? I'm always searching for them on the internet..

Sorry I have no photos of this era however I have some photos of my grandmother Fanny Esther Cowan (1879-1958). She would have been Margaret Henrietta Welsmore Lee (nee Hartley). She grew up in Vauxhall London until marriage when she lived at Eastwood/Southend in Essex. Fanny came to Australia with my mother Edith & her brother Albert in 1938. Cheers Rob
