Marriage William RYLATT to Martha WORTH

[Jill E]

I am trying to find out if someone was married twice.

My GGrandparents were married on 9th December 1875 at the Weslyan Chapel in Lincoln

William RYLATT  and Martha WORTH

Martha was born in Lincoln and I have never been able to find her birth. I now think she was married before. I think she might have been Martha WILLOWS who married an Edward WORTH in 1867. Edward Worth died in 1872. (Marriage and death registered in Rugby Warickshire) Martha WORTH wife of Edward is shown as having been born in Lincoln on the 1871 Census.

Are the marriage records available for the Weslyan Chapel or do the marriage records at the Registry office show any details. I live in Australia so cannot look in the records. I know I should buy the Marriage Certificate but am impatient and am trying to find out as soon as I can...
I hope someone can help me

Thanks from

Hello Jill This is an extract of an email from one of my Rylatt family contacts. "Martha Worth our great great grandmother. She was actually born Martha Cooling Willows in 1842 to John Willows and Sarah Jealous in St Swithin's, Lincoln. She married first Edward Worth who was a groom at Lord Henry Bentinck's stables and I believe was dismissed. They then moved back to Bilton in Warwickshire and Edward died in 1872 so Martha came back to Lincoln and married William Rylatt in 1875 and had 7 children."

I hope this is correct and goes some way to answering your query. Best Regards.
