St Margaret, Ipswich, Marriage 1808 MIDDLEDITCH look up please
« on: Sunday 07 February 16 15:28 GMT (UK) »
Back on the Middleditch trail, or maybe that should be trial  ::)   

Findmypast have a marriage for a William MIDDLEDITCH to a Mary CORK taking place in St Margarets, Ipswich on 16 May 1808.  This is from the Suffolk Marriage Index.

As it will be some time before I am likely to get to SRO, would SKS have access to the original entry to double-check the details for me please - am hoping that Cork is mistranscribed and is in fact COCK or COCKS.  In which case this might one of the marriages I've been trying to track down.

It doesn't help that Mary appears to have had two sons prior to this, one by someone else entirely.  Also, this is the only time I've found them, if it is them, in Ipswich.   Does anyone know whether St Margarets was particularly used by soldiers at this time?


Thank you
Helen

Thank you Annes for looking for me, very much appreciated.

Looks like it might be one of the other William Middleditchs then, as far as I'm currently aware neither 'my' William or Mary were from/had family connections to Ipswich, and I haven't come across a Holloday or similar name.  The only reason I thought it might possibly be them was William was  in the Militia and may have been stationed in Ipswich at that time, and they had a son baptised in the August that year, which would have been a reason to marry.

Thank you again.

Helen
