Hit a brick wall with Matilda Hayman

[shazs]

Hi,
Matilda was married at The Parish Church of Saint Matthew, City Road, Middlesex- registration district of St Luke.
The witnesses were Samuel Wheatley and Ann Demming / Denning(sp?).

On the certificate her age is just given as full- what age could you marry in 1867?

Thanks,

Sharon

On the certificate her age is just given as full- what age could you marry in 1867?

"Full" age was 21 or over.  People could marry younger than that but would not be described as of full age.

Hi Sharon
Not sure if this could be your Matilda, on the image the name looks like Hayman and not Harman

Hi
I've received Elizabeth Hayman's marriage certficate to her 2nd husband Samuel Wheatley-& it's thrown up an interesting fact!

It turns out that Elizabeth's father was called John Hayman- so her maiden name was Hayman and her first husband was James Hayman.

With this info I've manged to trace Elizabeth's side back another 3  generations but I still can't seem to track down her first husband, the elusive James Hayman.

I'm even more convinced now that Elizabeth's daughter Matilda's 2nd husband John Hayman was a relative as it look's like her mom & dad were related to each other as well!

Thanks for all your help,
Sharon
