Corton Suffolk - Mary HANNANT
« on: Sunday 24 January 16 09:37 GMT (UK) »

Can someone please help with both baptism and marriage details.

I understand Mary was born and baptised in Corton, Suffolk in 1799.
I would very much like to confirm this as well as get the parents names.

I would also very much like to get a copy of the marriage document between
Mary and spouse William Woodcock. I understand the marriage took place in Corton in 1818.
Is that possible a copy of the document?
If not to confirm the marriage details and supply the names of both fathers.

Thanks and regards,
Bob

There were no marriage certs for that period - only entries in the parish register

Fathers names only appeared on marriage certs from 1.7.1837 when Civil Registration was introduced

Presume you got her birthplace/birthyear from the 1851 entry?

Hi CarolW

I got the birth year from a (online) photo I came across of the headstone (in Corton Church) and stated she died in 1878 aged 79.
She died as Mary Woodcock.

I checked for earlier generations e.g. baptisms of William Woodcock and Mary Hannant and also a few surrounding parishes but couldn't find anything. :(

A Thomas and Mary Hannant (late Bridgement) baptised Charlotte in Corton on 14th August 1808 (born 8th July 1808).  Possible parents for Mary, given that a Thomas Hannant is also the witness to her marriage?  Anyway, something to work on  ;)
