Marriage Lookup - William Garner

[Truebrit]

Hi

I am wondering if anyone had access to the parish records or resources for Arnold. 

I am trying to establish where the parties were from in respect of a marriage between William Garner and Elizabeth Davinson on 24/11/1794 at Arnold.

I am hoping that the entry, witnesses or perhaps the banns may help further.

Any detail greatly appreciated.

Regards

The record is on Freereg, it would normally contain the type of information you need but there is none.

Just to add, another marriage.
Nottingham, St Mary
8 Jun 1802 William Garner and Elizabeth Davison

The couple seem to be baptising children at the same church, But there is also an earlier set of children baptised there, starting in 1795. So you seem to  have 2 sets of Garner parents both baptising children in St Marys

Thanks for looking at this.

I am trying to establish the correct marriage for William and Elizabeth Garner found in Long Whatton in 1841, aged about 75.

They are living with or next to some of their children Elizabeth Fox nee Garner aged abt 30 and William Garner aged abt 35.  Hannah aged abt 20 appears to be their granddaughter according to the 1851 census, illegitimate daughter of their daughter Dorothy (born abt 1802).

Elizabeth Garner is not born in County and lists Bilstrip, Nottinghamshire (Bilsthorpe?) as place of birth in 1851.  William is born in County and is likely to be from Long Whatton as there are several generations of Garners going back.  He dies in 1848.

Daughter Elizabeth is having family with her husband Joseph in Lowdham and appears to be visiting her parents with a young daughter Hannah and baby daughter Frances.

I had thought that the marriage was the one between William Garner and Elizabeth Cook in Long Whatton in 1783, although as you note there are a William and Elizabeth Garner having children in Nottingham from 1795 and no obvious children for this 1783 couple in Long Whatton or Nottingham before hand.  The baptisms of the Nottingham children appear to tie with the children listed with or adjacent to the Garners in 1841, so I think they are probably right. 

However, in the absence of any children from the 1783 William and Elizabeth Garner (Thomas Cook the father of that Elizabeth makes reference to an Elizabeth Garner wife of William in his Long Whatton will of 1792 so she was still around then) I wondered if a marriage just before the 1795 baptisms in Nottingham was more plausible - i.e.  the 1794 Arnold one.

To further complicate things there is a marriage for William Garner from Long Whatton and Elizabeth Henson in Ruddington, Notts in 1796.  However, this couple baptise a daughter Tabitha there in 1797 at the same time that the Nottingham couple are baptising a child so they look to be different couples.

With that extra information can anyone help provide a link to the right marriage?

The matching names for the 1794 marriage in Arnold and the 1802 in Nottingham is very coincidental - William Garner and Elizabeth Davison.

I wonder if they got married twice....

Hi Truebrit,

I can have a look at the marriages for you when I next in Nottingham Archives. Freereg doesn't always give all details.

Thanks - that sounds very promising!

It would be interesting to see if the Arnold marriage/banns in 1794 yield any clues.  And what of the Nottingham marriage in 1802 - an error or a second marriage?
