Marriage from 1722

[MacGrigor]

Thanks! I'm also at a dead end with the marriage of Edward Clark and Jane Jenkins in Hawkesbury in 1723.

Looking at the Will of John WITTS of Hawksbury - he was a Blacksmith.

From the Forest of Dean records

Mary MARSH married Daniel ALWAYS at Hawkesbury - 21 April 1690 - by Licence.


Will see what else turns up!

Thanks!

Looking at the Parish Records of Hawkesbury

States:

Edward CLARKE and Jane JENKINS both of this Parish by Banns 3 October 1723

and the next entry says

Thos. GREEN of the Parish of Wotton Under Edge and Mary CLARKE, of the Parish of Newton Bagpath by Licence - 13 February  1724 - Licence transcribed on the Forest of Dean records 1723/1724

That's a shame, I can't find christenings for Edward or Jane in Hawkesbury thanks for looking!

Wills are an invaluable way of looking for families (providing one exists) - Use the Gloucestershire Genelogical Database - to see what exists if you don't have access to Ancestry (which is usually free at your local library).

Thanks!

Ancestry has transcribed the Will of Giles JENKINS (Mason) 1743 of Hawkesbury - he talks about Robert JENKINS(ON) leasing.

Mentions his wife Sarah and two daughter: Jane & Sarah - talks about if these daughter's children die etc - but doesn't say these two girls are married.

There is also a Will of Giles JENKINS (Yeoman) of Hawkesbury - a couple of years after the 1743 Will.


Baptism at Hawksbury - 7 August 1701 - Sarah JONKINS (on Ancestry) - father Giles

and at Churchdown St Bartholmew St Andrew - GRLES - 12 October 1702 - parents Giles & Sarah

---

Sarah JENKINS married Robert COLINS - 30 November 1724, at Hawkesbury


---

As Giles was a Mason - he would have travelled around.

? this could possibly be Jane's father.
