COMPLETED THANKS - Marriage George DARLEY & Ann FRANCIS
« on: Friday 17 April 09 18:23 BST (UK) »
Good evening,

George DARLEY & Ann FRANCIS were married in Fishtoft on 18th March 1822.

Ann FRANCIS is recorded as being born in Wigtoft, c1812 or 1813 if the census ages are to be believed.
However I cannot find her baptism anywhere.

If anyone has access to Fishtoft PR's there might be the name of Ann's father recorded for the marriage. Alternatively Wigtoft PR's might even show a baptism if I'm lucky.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nick

Surely, the ages do not support your dates - marriage aged about 10!

Perhaps the burial at Boston of Anne DARLEY 25 May 1827 aged 27 is relevant.

Followed (eventually) by 19 Sept 1837 Boston
George DARLEY (son of Thomas) to Anne DOUGHTY (dau of John).

Seems compatible with children's ages in 1851.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.

Good evening Geoff,

I think you have succesfully solved what appeared an enigma; I must confess I hadn't thought about the possibility of 2 different marriages and 2 different Ann's.

Yet another lesson !

Many thanks for your time and trouble, it's been of great help.
