Could someone please help me out. In our tree we have a John Ewens and Mary Hill and from the Familysearch in 2004 got their marriage of 24 February 1772, Marden, or so we thought. The same year went to the Wiltshire Records to check things out. Couldn't find anything about Mary HILL her baptism, marriage, family but found Mary STILL and her family, with a marriage of 12 November 1771, Pewsey (not that far away). Same bridegroom. We couldn't understand things and spoke to an assistant there who thought it might have been due to Banns.
Now I made a terrible mistake and failed (I know I'll get my knuckles rapped for that) and did not make notes of our conversation, exact details etc. just the new date and the witnesses Robert Still/Benjamin Bryant.
Is there anyone out there who can help me solve the problem. Are there two marriages or not? What I can say for certain is the John Ewens and Mary (Still/Hill) had a daughter Elizabeth 1774 from whom my husband is descended.
Please, any help gratefully received.
