Marriage George HEAVENS & Martha ROLLANS 1829
« on: Friday 06 March 09 09:05 GMT (UK) »
Good morning,

I would be grateful if anyone with access to Oxfordshire PR's could help me please.

I'm looking to possibly confirm, and for any details of, the marriage of George HEAVENS b. 1804 Faringdon (son of Angel HEAVENS (no joke !) and Martha HAMBRIDGE) with Martha ROLLANS, apparently born in Warwickshire c1783, and which could have taken place in Bicester, Oxfordshire in 1829.

George was a shoemaker by trade.

Many thanks for any light on the subject.

Nick

Thank you Sue !

Does the OMI give any mention of the respective fathers by any chance ? In particular Martha ?

Good morning Caz,

Thank you for those extra details, especially the witnesses.

Martha was a widow I think, given her age (about 15 - 20 years older than George) and may have come from Warwickshire if you can trust a census return, so I'm not surprised that you didn't find any Rollans baptisms.

But thank you for looking anyway !

Much appreciated.

Nick
