Llanbadarn Fawr Parish Registers - marriage NAIRN and BAYLEY 1815

[clontarf]

I am looking for details of a marriage at Llanbadarn Fawr on 15 Sep 1815, between Fasham NAIRN of St Mary's Warwick and Anne BAYLEY of Wednesbury.   

There appears to have been an earlier marriage of this couple - Fasham Nairn married Ann Bailey alias Nairn on 16 Mar 1815 at St Bartholemew's Wednesbury, Staffordshire.  Was there a problem with this ceremony?  Was either party underage?  Fasham Nairn was baptised 2 Mar 1794 and was aged 41 on death 7 Apr 1834.

Any assistance gratefully accepted.

Correction - the Llanbadarn Fawr marriage was first, on 15 Sep 1814 and was by licence (from where?).  This marriage was announced in the Monthly Magazine Vol 38, part 2 of 1 Nov 1814, p 386; "Fasham Nairne, esq of Warwick, to Miss Bayley of Wednesbury".

The name of the bride at the second marriage in 1815 seems to indicate the couple were living as man and wife.  Suggests the first marriage may have been annulled.  If so, where might such an action be recorded?

How do you know that the first marriage was by licence? The entry on FreeREG doesn't indicate either way.
Ann was 39 when she died in 1819, so would have been of full age in 1814.  If Fasham was baptised soon after he was born he would  still have been under 21 in September of 1814.  It could be that the couple had doubts about the validity of the first marriage because he didn't have his parents' consent, and they married again after his 21st birthday just to make sure.

I dont know for certain.  I obtained the information from the Staffordshire Marriage Index 20 years ago.  The 1819 death for Ann is most interesting.  If this is Ann Bayley/Bailey then I feel sure Fasham did not have his parent's consent.

In 1815 Fasham is churchwarden at Wednesbury.

In 1817 Fasham was made a Lieutenant in the Volunteer Cavalry of Staffordshire and in Oct 1818 Fasham Nairn, gentleman, has a daughter Mary Ann baptised at Wednesbury with the mother named as MARY.  The 1818 Staffordshire Directory shows Fasham Nairn , gentleman, at Springhead House, Walsall Street, Wednesbury.

If his first wife did not die until 1819, then either the mother's name in the baptism register is a mistake, or Fasham has left Ann for another woman, possibly the Mary Dixon Beal he marries, as a widower, in 1820 in London.

The 1819 death of Fasham Nairn's  wife is mentioned here:

and the burial is on FreeREG.

Thank you very much for that link.  It certainly does not look as though Fasham and Ann are separated, which would mean the mother's name on the 1818 baptism record is most probably a mistake.  However, to play devils advocate, the phrase "deservedly lamented" in the death notice appears multiple times on this page and so could be to some extent formulaic, or the notice was inserted by her family
