« on: Wednesday 31 January 07 11:33 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find a marriage for William Overton 65years old in 1901 and a widower living in Leominster ,Between the Census and 1905 when his youngest son emigrated to the USA he remarried to quote Thomas "a lovely lady from the next village that we`d known for years" No marriage or death record in Herefordshire for him and he was born in Bucknell Shrops any pointers would be appreciated.

This is the only marriage during that period for William Overton in Shropshire:

Marriages Mar 1902  (>99%)
JONES    Emma       
NICHOLAS   Emily Jane   
OLIVER   John James            
OVERTON    William
Madeley 6a 1021

There's no way of knowing which lady he married without buying the cert - and no guarantee it's the right William Overton!

It's a difficult one to be sure of with so little information.  There's a William Overton, age 21, living in Dawley in the 1901 census so this might be his marriage.
