Post by: Bunnygirl on Tuesday 08 April 14 09:24 BST (UK)

Hi
I'm looking for a marriage about 1736/7  their first child was baptized in 1737 so around that time for
Benjamin Fowkes to a Ann
Benjamin died 1767 in Mountsorrel & Ann 1775 Mountsorrel. I have copy of Benjamin's Will and details of the baptisms of their children which took place in Mountsorrel & Rothley

Any ideas about finding this marriage would be much appreciated

Hi Diddy,
Thanks for looking yes I have both the deaths, they both left Wills which I have copies of.
They were woolcombers in Mountsorrel and Benjamin junior didn't marry but he did mention his mother Ann and his siblings in his Will.
Thanks again
