Marriage Look Up - Wateringbury, Kent
« on: Saturday 11 June 11 16:54 BST (UK) »
Hello

I'm trying to find the first marriage for my 4x Great Grandfather Francis MIRES.  He was born in Wateringbury in 1799. 

I have found him on the 1841 census (and onwards) with a wife called Mary with their children but looking on the IGI I have found that some of them have Mary as a mother and some have Jane, so I'm assuming he was married twice.

Would someone be able to look up the marriage between Francis MIRES  and Jane for me?  I've looked on the IGI and haven't been able to find anything. Unfortunately I have no other information for her apart from the fact that all their children were baptised in Wateringbury between 1824 and 1830 so I am assuming that they would have married either before 1824 or just after.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Tina

Hi Tina

When does the mother change from Jane to Mary?

The only one I can see on Familysearch is George 1856 (mother Mary) ............... how are you finding them?

Mary is quite a bit young to be the mother of the older ones isn't she?

Hi Casalguidi

Thanks for the reply.

The first child born with the mother showing as Mary is in 1834.

I found them by searching on the old version of Familysearch using the fathers and mothers names and the batch number for Wateringbury.  Francis and Mary had 10 (possibly 11) children together.  Francis and Jane had 5.

Kind regards
Tina
