Jane or Ann GLEED - Purton
« on: Thursday 09 February 12 12:55 GMT (UK) »
Robert and Jane Gleed had at least 7 children between 1783 and 1802, all baptised in Purton. However, there is no marriage record around that time for Robert and Jane Gleed. There is only one from 1781 in Wroughton between Robert Gleed and Ann Gleed.

According to the gleedery (a website that documents all people with the name Gleed), the marriage licence bond calls her Jane, but the marriage register states Ann. He seemed to think that this meant Jane/Ann may be the child of a close relation or brought up in the same household.

I am wondering how or why this link might have been made. If anyone can shed some light it would be very appreciated.
