Query Procter/Stockdale Marriage 1801

[LibbyW]

Thanks for looking

I believed that

William Procter m Elizabeth Yates 08/02/1803 St Nicholas Liverpool (so IGI says)
 
but always wondered why Mary had the middle name of Stockdale

Elizabeth 09/05/1810
Margaret 18/01/1811
William Sands 23/04/1812
this is the one          Mary Stockdale 24/10/1814 (she marries missing vet from previous thread)
Thomas George 1817

then I was trolling around british origins and found this

1801   PROCTER    WM    STOCKDALE    ELZ    CATON    LANCASHIRE    

right place , could it be he married twice? quite a gap between marriage and first child?

Can anyone help me confirm or deny either of these marriages please?



Libby with a sore head???

Hi Libby,

I can only comment on the middle name, as I have come across a few in my own research.

It could be that it was the mothers maiden name or even the name of a well off relative who might hopefully be then be remembered in the will. I am sure there would be other suggestions 

I also had a chap who married twice with both Wifes having the same first name which got me very confused 

It could be that he may did marry twice, you will have to try and look for a Death or an extra Marriage.

Hi, you made mention of "William Sands 23/04/1812" in your post.  I'm trying to trace the Sands line and wondered if you have further information about William?

[LibbyW]

I'm sorry I can't as 'Sands' is Williams middle name his full name being William Sands Procter.

Oh, sorry. I just saw your post saying "William Sands 23/04/1812" and assumed his surname was "Sands".

well blow me down!!! Thank you so much Claire, this is a real turn up for the books. I am gob smacked for 2 reasons 1, that he could have married twice and 2, because he was a mariner!!!
All other legs of my family tree are littered with Mariners, I have them coming out of my ears and this was one leg that had none....... until now. Brilliant
Thank you so much, I shall have to try and see if any children came from the first marriage and also what happened to Elizabeth Stockdale
