Hi,

      I have an old copy of a marriage certificate from 1811, but unfortunately one corner is missing . It is the marriage of Hugh Mccoy to Sarah Yaldon on 15th October 1811 at Holy Trinty Gosport.  The missing corner contains the name of a ship, which I would like to know.
    It states No 76, Hugh Mccoy of HMS ..................
    singleman & Sarah Yaldon of thi........................

   Can anyone fill in the missing words , before I order the film from the Latter-day Saints

      Thanks in advance

         Roy

Jo,

    Looking at the census they lived at Stonebarrow, the next fam being Westhay , and the one after that being Gabriels. There is also a 16th century Stonebarrow Manor at the bottom of Stonebarrow Hill, so this may be the same place. You could try contacting them at http://www.stonebarrowmanor.co.uk/, they may have some history of the area

    Good Luck

      Roy.

       P.s. We aren't related as far as I can tell as our Lucy's father was William Powell
