Waterfield marriage - possibly Countesthorpe
« on: Saturday 22 September 18 18:39 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for confirmation of a marriage between Thomas WATERFIELD and Elizabeth EAGERS, probably in the mid 1790s. Between 1797 and 1812 they had five sons and four daughters - inclduing twin boys born in 1812. All were baptised in Countesthorpe. 

The family moved to Shearsby sometime after 1812.

There is evidence that several generations of Thomas' ancesters came from Thorpe Langton.

Many thanks for help

There is a marriage between a Thomas Waterfield and an Elizabeth Thornton in Countesthorpe 9 July 1797. Witness Joshua Cox and William Lord (Church officer). It does not give marital status, just that they were married by Banns. Image is available on FindMyPast.

Just out of interest - if you don't have the marriage how do you know her surname was Eagers?

Clutching at straws - a suggestion (unsubstantiated) on An****ry)

I have found the entry in the PRs this morning although I couldn't find it under Waterfield on FindMyPast but did under Thornton. Exactly one week later a daughter, Jane, to Thomas and Elizabeth Waterfield was baptised in Countesthorpe. I doubt there was more than one couple with those names in Countesthorpe at the time.
