Where is Hannah Bovis after her marriage with John Dumbrill 1738?
« on: Friday 24 March 17 05:32 GMT (UK) »
Hannah Bovis & John Dumbrill married by licence 1738.  Hannah was of Westham and John OTP.

I am unable to locate Hannah after her marriage and hope for some assistance.

Where did they marry?

(You mentioned Westham - googling directs me to West Ham)

Presumably to get to Hannah and John's marriage you must have done so via one of their children?

Births of children are likely to be the only records you will find for the couple at this time before useful censuses unless they were prominent people, land or property owners, or generally had money.  :)

What were you expecting or hoping to find about Hannah?

Which Hannah are we talking about here? Did Hannah Wallas remarry?

Yes solidrock, that is the one. 

This Hannah is the daughter of Thomas Bovis [various]  1667 - 1743 and Hannah Wallace [various] [? - 1717].

Thomas's son Thomas [my 7th great grandfather 1698/99 - 1763] married Hannah Wenburn [1702 - ?] 1723 Guestling.  Thomas & Hannah's son James [my 6th great grandfather 1727 - 1798] married Sarah Unstead.

As to the spelling of Westham; I have just written it as it appears on the records and as I am not a native of UK I have just transcribed as provided.

However I have had difficulty in determining Westham in later years.

As to their station in life: I haven't as yet located any record that gives me any feeling for tor this position.

Hi Westy,
You've got me confused now, Thomas Bovis who married Hannah Wallas in 1695 was born 1675. There is a Thomas Boovis born 1667 Westham but I can't find a marriage for him.
Westham is near Pevensey in Sussex.

OK, James Bovies married Sarah Unstead    6 May 1754.  Seaford, Sussex, England

They had 4 children...

James Bovis
1755–1819
John Bovis
1755
Thomas Bovis
1761–1783
Sarah Bovis
1776–1846 

Are you related to the Thrift or Verrell family as they seem to have arrived in Australia in the 1800's.
