Thanks Willsy, just popped in quickly and at a glance, I think I have most of that, but the Tollerton marriage and the NB burial look interesting. (No time to look through things at the moment, but I seem to remember Sarah died in Costock - again, not too distant). Will spend some more time on them this evening and tomorrow.

You've all given me something to work on, so thanks again.

Just a thought about the Cropwell Bishop marriage supplied by Mike. There was a Gill family in Cropwell Bishop. Perhaps 'my' Elizabeth was born in Cropwell Bishop as a Gill...then married a Wright....then married a Hemsley from her home village....then married 'my' Barker. Can't leave her alone yet! Thanks everyone, you've got the grey matter going again. And I think the marriage of Charles, as supplied by willsy, may well be the marriage of one of the Barker sons, so thanks for that too.

Thanks everyone, the Barker/Hemsley one is the marriage that I already have. As I say, my difficulty is in finding out the bride's maiden name and the name(s) of her previous husband(s). I'm going to spend some time looking at the ones that you have kindly found.

In her will, Elizabeth names the following as beneficiaries - Sarah Baldock (married sister), Thomas Gill (brother), Phebe and Sarah Goodacre, Elizabeth James and Sarah Wagg (née James) as nieces, as well as various of the Milnes family (no relationship stated). You would think I had plenty of clues there - particularly with her brother's surname being given - and still I can't find her! Based on her brother's surname being Gill, I've tried looking for various Gill marriages (e.g. for Sarah marrying a Baldock, or a Gill marrying a James) but  without success. Perhaps Elizabeth was a widow when she married Mr Hemsley...or perhaps I'm just clutching at straws! I know I have the right will, as she names some of my known ancestors as beneficiaries too.

I recognise the names Goodacre, Gill, Hemsley and Milnes as local to the Melton area, but Elizabeth could of course originate anywhere. I think I'll put her to one side for a while, but in the meantime, all suggestions welcome!

Regards

Pat

Thanks Trish, I do have the married names of a couple of Elizabeth's siblings, which have so far led me  nowhere, but those names you've found give me more to work from. Thanks again, Pat

Leicestershire / Hemsley marriage1817
« on: Monday 30 July 12 09:43 BST (UK)  »
In 1817, in Nether Broughton, my 4x g.grandfather Daniel Barker married for the second time. His bride was a widow by the name of Elizabeth Hemsley. Can anyone assist me with her origins, or the identity of her first husband, please? I'm in possession of a will, that suggests to me that her maiden name may have been Gill, but I've still been unable to trace her. Any assistance gratefully received.

I had some but not all of that, so I may be able to get a bit further now. Many thanks for the swift reply.
