Marriage look-up please. Completed thank-you

[Brie]

Hi,

I am looking for the marriage between Thomas Charlton 1619-1690 (b Sandiacre, later lived at Chilwell) and Tabitha. I know that Tabitha is the "heiress" of William Nix of Nottingham but not how she is related, if at all.

On the IGI there is a Thomas Charlton married to a Tabitha Nye 16 Oct 1639 South Wilford, Nottingham. A possibility but it is a submitted record.

Thanks
Brie

Thank-you very much. I'm glad she is a relative of William Nix (hopefully a daughter). It looks as if he was Mayor of Nottingham at some point so now I'll try and find his will.

Thanks again

Hi Brie

Have you got the burial info?

William Nix 20.9.1650 St Peters, Nottingham (Mr William - Maior)

Thank-you for this info Carol. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a will in the National Archives. Something else for the next visit to Notts Record Office. I'm hoping they will also have a copy of the licence 

I wonder who the other Thomas Charlton and Tabitha N were? Did you spot that they only married one day apart?

Hi Brie

It's the same couple.  I think the 15th Oct would be the date the licence was granted not the day they married.

When I applied for a marriage licence it was held at the Manuscripts and Special Collections dept at the Nottingham University. I phoned them up (0115 9514565) and gave them all the details. When they had located the document they wrote to me with the price etc.  Very helpful.

I am going to the Records Office in a couple of weeks so will check the Will index if you haven't already been by then.

Thanks Carol.

I will find out where the marriage licence is (University or Records Office) and I would very much appreciate it if you could check the wills index as I don't know when I'll next be in the E. Mids. Then I will apply for both - if there is a will that is.

Thanks again

Hi Brie

Not sure why this is in completed messages. It has taken me ages to find it.

There were a few documents for William Nix, but couldn't see a Will

William Nix (major) 1650 document ref, M416 F 225
Williame Nixe (alderman) 1642 document ref, Z26
William Nix (deceased) 1655 document ref, DD683/20

a couple of Wills around that time that may belong to the same family

Thomas Nix (gent) 31 Oct 1628 proved 20 Aug 1629 Nottingham
Robert Nix (gent) 4 Oct 1662  proved 3 Nov 1662 / 22 Dec 1662

I suppose if your write to Nottingham Archives they could copy the documents for you.
