Thanks amondg.

Unfortunately I cannot go in person as I live in the Channel Isles. A bit far to swim and walk!! Would they do it on line, do you know?

Thanks amondg.
Indeed Tabitha was baptised at Wymondham on 2 June 1723 and her parents were Peter Reynolds and Elizabeth RICHARDSON.
How would I get a copy of the Licence; not a member of Norfolk FH Society. Would it be through Registrar of Births and Deaths?

Thanks amondg for the info.

You state that a William COOK infant who was buried 1734 is the son of William COOK Junior.

I have a William COOK, son of William COOK Junior born 1733 baptised 24 March 1733 (Norfolk FH Soc). He married Tabitha REYNOLDS on 24 March 1754 at St. Stephen, Norwich (Norfolk FH Soc).
Are you saying that William COOK born 1733 died and was buried 1734 is the one who married Tabitha? If so then the William who married Tabitha was a completely different William. Tabitha was my husbands 5 X G Grandmother, so who is his 5 X G Grandfather?

A very large spanner has been thrown in the works...

Avm228,

Thank you - it looks as if I had the wrong info from a cousin - he gave me BUERGIN as the maiden name. I will have to recheck my info again.

Learnt a lesson again!! Never trust info without double checking.

Regards,

Margaret

Thanks Nanny Jan,

It looks as if the 1872 marriage is the likely one as 1871 census states William Henry was a mechanic with father Thomas.
1901 Census states William H was an engine maker & turner.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction...four eyes are always better than two!!

By the way on the 1871 census it says William Henry's place of birth was Rercoat, or Rescoat. Is there a place of that name?

Regards,

Margaret

Yorkshire (North Riding) / William Henry WALKER Marriage to Hannah WRIGHT
« on: Monday 26 June 17 10:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a bit of a problem (Don't we all!!) I have a William Henry WALKER who was born circa 1852 at Halifax. His parents were Thomas Beresford WALKER and Charlotte BUERGIN. In looking for his marriage I came across 1). William Henry WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 2nd. Quarter 18782 at Halifax and 2). William WALKER married to Hannah WRIGHT 4th.Quarter 1867 at Guisborough.

I found on the 1911 census a William Henry WALKER married to Hannah and they were married for 38 years, which points to the 1872 marriage at Halifax. But there is still doubt as to which marriage is correct.

It seems too much a coincidence that two William WALKER's  were married to a girl with the same name. But there again in family history there are so many anomalies and coincidences and strange goings on!!

Can anyone make sense of it? I would be very grateful for any help and suggestions.

Regards,

Margaret
