Hi
Hoping someone can help with my problem marriage, please?
Have found on Family Search a marriage between John Watson and Ann Wood, 26 March 1817, but the place just says "Worcester", even on FindmyPast. So can anyone narrow it down for me please?
Helen

Family Search has the film number as 350531, which is Powick Deanery 1817-1819

Hmm, so unlikely to be Worcester City that I was looking for then, but on the other hand not far from there either. So still a possibility, had forgotten that FS have a habit of shortening Worcestershire to just Worcester!
Would be nice to know the actual parish, if possible, if anyone can help? as looking for further info like marital status.

Hi Helen
This may or may not help you but I know there was a family of Wood's around Little Comberton about the time you are searching & also that there was a family of Watson's at Chaddesley Corbett but neither are what you would call uncommon names so good luck with your search
All the very best
