Edisbury, Walker, Ratcliffe marriage
« on: Friday 19 July 19 13:23 BST (UK) »
Can any one help with this please. I don`t have access to FindMyPast only Anc.
27th February 1829. Carmarthen Journal.
Marriage
At Wrexham, on Tuesday, the 17th inst  Mr. James Edisbury, of Holywell, to Miss Elizabeth Walker Ratcliffe, eldest daughter of the late Henry Walker Esq. of Wrexham.
 The marriage bond on FindMyPast  has her surname as Ratcliffe, but the marriage entry has her as Walker.  A bit odd , unless she was a widow.
Elizabeth Edisbury died in 1832 at Holywell.
 On 14 January 1834  James married Sarah Ratcliffe at St Bridget, Chester.
 Again a bit odd considering his first wife was also Ratcliffe.
