Which Steward? Honing. *Completed, Thanks.
« on: Saturday 16 January 10 12:57 GMT (UK) »
I have a marriage between Richard Steward and Mary Andrews, 1782, Honing, courtesy of the I.G.I., extracted.
Checking the same year on the Norfolk Transcription Archive, for Honing, I find a marriage between Mary Andrews and Isaac Steward.

Is this likely to be a coincidence, or more likely that one of the entries is wrong?
Any advice on how I'd progress this would be appreciated.

Thank you.

'Hat.

Hi,

If you look at the births (and some deaths) for Honing on Freereg they are all to Richard Steward and Mary Andrews. The years are available but not the dates which could suggest the records were in a poor state. The name may have also been shortened which has been misinterpreted. Richard appears to have died in 1822 and there is no Isaac death currently recorded.

That is something that hadn't occurred to me.

Thank you, Junev.

Thanks very much, Eileen, that's good enough for me, and thanks for supplying the burials, as well.     8)
