Robert and Jane Gleed had at least 7 children between 1783 and 1802, all baptised in Purton. However, there is no marriage record around that time for Robert and Jane Gleed. There is only one from 1781 in Wroughton between Robert Gleed and Ann Gleed.

According to the gleedery (a website that documents all people with the name Gleed), the marriage licence bond calls her Jane, but the marriage register states Ann. He seemed to think that this meant Jane/Ann may be the child of a close relation or brought up in the same household.

I am wondering how or why this link might have been made. If anyone can shed some light it would be very appreciated.

I found a marriage entry on freereg for Alexander Stanners and Jean Sibbald, both of Humbie, in 1792. It is recorded as at Humbie Parish Church, but in the notes section is states:

Irregularly married at Edinburgh by William Gordon "and have given satisfaction to our Session."

I was hoping someone might know what this means - if anything.

I am looking for John Smith b.1849 in Haselbech, Northamptonshire; his wife, Maria, b.1847 in London; and possibly a daughter, Elizabeth b.1871 in Maidwell, Northamptonshire. They should be living in Northamptonshire.

I recently found an ancestor Henry Perkins who, according to census records, was born in Guernsey around 1796. By 1841 he was living in Lancashire with his Yorkshire-born wife and their children. I have looked around a bit online, and there doesn't seem to be a way to find birth records online. Can anyone help me find out more about Henry and when he left Guernsey?
