The Common Room / Re: Can anyone find previous Marriages of two widowers - a puzzle

I think we are lucky to have the records we do have, and if it was easy would it keep one's interest through the years.
I'll put this one on the back burner and maybe something will turn up one day

They are an elusive couple. Trying to find if they are the parents I'm looking for and the ages would at least give me an idea.

Thanks for the replies.
I have looked on the Scotland's People site, no joy there.  He's possibly listed as a Chelsea out pensioner in 1717, but no details as to his age or length of service etc.

The Common Room / Can anyone find previous Marriages of two widowers - a puzzle
« on: Saturday 27 April 24 21:31 BST (UK)  »
I have a marriage of Bartholomew Dickenson and Lydia Priest on 16/12/1716 in the list of Clandestine marriages in London.
Both are shown as W for widow and Widower.
Their two children were baptised in St James Westminster
Bartholomew and Lydia were both buried in St James Westminster
A Thomas Priest was buried in St James Westminster, 12/11/1714 so a possible late husband of Lydia?

I have not been able to find any other marriages for Bartholomew or Lydia, nor baptism for Bartholomew

Amy suggestions ?

Thanks for the replies. I'm hoping there is extra info when I eventually get my account sorted and can see the image. Trying to work out if it's the right man.

Ok thank you for pointing that out. I do have a subscription but it seems my account is crosslinked to US and UK. I'll wait until they fix my account.

Good evening all
I have found a record on Ancestry for Bartholomew Dickenson listed as below
Bartholmew ?? Dickinson
in the UK, Royal Hospital Chelsea Pensioner Admissions and Discharges, 1715-1925
The image links to Fold3 Website, but then I get pingponged between the UK and US site and can't access the image.
Is anyone able to see this for me
many thanks in advance
Fred

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Scandinavian shock!
« on: Friday 19 January 24 14:55 GMT (UK)  »
My result on My Heritage also states Scandinavian,but at 59% and as far as I have traced, I have no direct Scandinavian at all!
The site appears to have high values for Scandinavian ancestry for most users. It must  be the bias in their population groups.
