Can anyone find the marriage of Thomas DARLEY & Mary WEST ?
« on: Friday 17 April 09 13:34 BST (UK) »
Good afternoon,

Thomas DARLEY was probably born in Boston c1770 and I think died there in 4thQ 1838 (Boston 14. 144)
He was married to Mary WEST, born probably in Boston around 1772, died probably 1847 or 1849 in Boston reg. area

There is a Mary WEST baptised 18th January 1772 but she died a month later, so I know this is not the right one. However, there seem to be roughly 20 Mary WEST's born in Lincolnshire around this time, which doesn't help !

They had 4 children that I know of:

- Joseph baptised 20.12.1793, died 15.02.1794
- Thomas baptised 19th October 1797; died 15.09.1857
- Francis baptised 8th April 1800; married a Mary Anne ?? probably 1826/1827
- George baptised 7th June 1802.

All baptisms Boston.

If Thomas & Mary were married, logically it should be around 1792, beginning 1793, probably in or around Boston. So far I have been unable to find any trace of the marriage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nick

Hi Nick ... the burial details are

22 Oct 1838 Boston, Thomas DARLEY (76)
22 June 1834 Boston, Mary DARLEY (67)

(The Mary Ann's you mention were aged 47 and 19 respectively in 1847 and 1849)
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.

Good afternoon Geoff,

That's an excellent start and 2 details I didn't yet have. At least they will enable me to pinpoint the approximate dob more accurately now.

Thank you kindly !

Nick
