Adam Underwood, how many times did he marry?
« on: Monday 23 August 10 11:01 BST (UK) »
I have Adam underwood born abt 1660 died 1743 Ashfordby Leicestershire

Marriages at Ashfordby to Adam Underwood,

Dorothy Ison 30 Nov 1793, burial for Dorothy 14 June 1794

Ann Monke 1 Dec 1694, burial 4 May 1701 (4 children to this marriage)

Mary Burgess 28 April 1702, burial 5 Sept 1705 ( 1 child born)

An[n] Silverwood (a widow) 2 June 1706, burial 28 Jan 1734

I have tried to find another Adam Underwood in Ashfordby that would fit with no luck and am sure of the 2 middle marriages as children and grand children are mentioned in his will, which i have.

The first and last marriages, i`m not sure of and he would have been about 33 on that first one, so was he married before that one.

His birth year is calculated from his grave stone which says he was nearly LXXX111 and buried 30 May 1743

Can any one help me work out if the first and last marriages are mine and if he was married previously please.

Oh bummer, i put the wrong year in the first marriage, tried to correct it and must have pressed the wrong button. Its right on the quote though.

Greeting’s again. …Gert.

I’ve just had a look at Phillimores Early Marriages for
All Saints Parish Church. Ashfordby. 1554. ~ 1835.

Adam Underwood Marriages recorded there :~

1617.
Adam Underwood. ~ Ellen Heyne. …27th. November. Banns.

NO PARISH MARRIAGES Recorded at all :~
1613 ~ 14.
1621 ~ 22.
1631 ~ 32.
1642 ~ 43.
1647 ~ 51.
1653 ~ 60.
1663 ~ 64.
1666 ~ 79.
1684 ~ 85
1690 ~ 93
1703 ~ 04.



1694.
Adam Underwood. ~ Ann Monke. ……..1st. December. Banns.

1706.
Adam Underwood. ~ An(n) Silverwood. Widow …2nd. June. Banns.

1716 ~ 17. NO MARRIAGES.

The last Adam Underwood = 1824.
Adam Underwood. ~ Catherine Felstead. …9th. June. Banns.

So not sure how I.G.I. got the 1693 to Dorothy Isom marriage from. ?

Thank you Mike, i thought the information on the Family Search Pilot site was supposed to more reliable and taken from parish registers and the Dorothy Ison marriage is on there.
