Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage Lookup - Cheltenham 1870
« on: Sunday 11 September 22 02:44 BST (UK) »
Hi ciderdrinker - thank you for posting the census and all the extra info!! Maybe Abel is from the first marriage? While I said I haven't found his first marriage... I haven't (in Cheltenham)... there are a couple of possibilities. Gloucester 1830 to Margaret Bishop or Bristol 1824 to Sarah Newton Maggs.
Wonder where Rachel disappears to. There's an overseer document relating to a Rachel Holland in 1802 in Cowley on Ancestry.
trish1120 - hence while I'm not ruling it out completely! He's born four years after their 2nd last child so he may have been a surprise! Wouldn't be the first time someone brought down their age to make it more in line with their partner either.
Capetown: I had no idea they could offer that. Much more used to not having that option, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for the tip and the added info! And very interesting that the name is a known gypsey name in the area. I had no idea! Might have to look up these sites. And the different pronunciations can make life difficult.
