Title: Marriage - William Payne and Mary/Maria - Ribbesford
Post by: Truebrit on Wednesday 19 September 18 23:31 BST (UK)
Hi

I am researching Ann Payne who says she was born in Wolverley in 1833.

I have her marriage to Henry Hartley in 1852 and this states her father to be a William Payne, Labourer.

I have found a baptism for Ann to William and Mary Payne in Wolverley in 1833, stating they are from Lower Mitton.  I have found the family on the 1841 census in Lower Mitton.  The census indicates that William and Mary to not be born in County.

I have found two potential marriages for William - one to a Mary in Ribbesford in Feb 1833 and one to Maria Jones on 5th November 1833. I think the marriage may be the latter as I have found a William in Ribbesford in 1851 as a widow living with parents and siblings - one of the siblings is called Jemima and my Ann Payne and Henry Hartley called a daughter Jemima.  There is a death for Maria, wife of William a labourer in 1842 in Ribbesford (witness was Williams sister Sarah) and a death for William a Waterman in Ribbesford in 1855 (witness again Sarah). 

But I am not sure if this is the right William as the 1841 census lists wife as Mary, not Maria, and both this William and Maria appear to be born in Worcestershire so not out of County as stated in 1841.

I am wondering if the two Ribbesford marriage entries might shed any light.  Can anybody please check the Parish records to see if notes are added as to where the parties are from?

Any other thoughts or ideas also appreciated.

Thanks in advance

TB

Any children born after 1837 whose birth was registered?

If so - you can check mmn via GRO online

Thanks for responding Carol.

Only two children with William and Mary Paine (sic) in the 1841 census in Lower Mitton - Ann (1833) and William (1836).  I’ve looked for other children and whilst there is a Thomas Payne in 1838 mmn Jones, he looks to be the son of Thomas and Lydia Payne. 

Can’t spot any others.
