Hi JRob
I have acopy of the marriage licence now which is quite good . Mary Ann Newton Haydon is my 3rd Great Grandmother. I've seen the baptism record on FamilySearch and wonder how to get a copy of the original document?
A lot of folk tell me that there is a link through to William the Conquerer on Mary Ann's mother's side. I am informed her mother was Ann Skinner but want to try and track this so I can see the connections? Am I just making life harder for myself but where is the fun in this if I can't get to rummage in cenetaries and records
) Love sharing tips and learning more though so tips/pointers are always good. Just finding the link to good old Willie the Conq hard to believe.
Maybe a trip to Devon is needed though I am still looking for Mary Ann's husband's ancestry as well. Newton is an unusal middle name and why did she come all the way from Devon to Preston? Oh the mystery.....
