Which Nancy married John Adams (22 Dec 1771 - 03 July 1857)
« on: Friday 28 July 17 19:48 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Using Family Search, I have come across Nancy Hingley (B: 1773) marrying John Adams at St. Thomas, Dudley on 14th November, 1791, which would put her at an ideal age to marry and have children.

Other relatives are saying they think its Nancy Woodward (B: 1773 - 11/2/1857) as the one marrying John Adams at Oldswinford on 7th September 1817, which would make her 44 years old so not exactly child bearing age, is it?

I am not sure where to go next, in order to identify which Nancy married John Adams?

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Just realised attachments are too large to upload so will try again...

How many children have you found for John Adams and Nancy? Dates and birth places would be helpful to narrow down who was John's wife.
