Richard Willets 1686 Rowley Regis Staffordshire

[Fitz1]

Baptism records for at least 8 children indicate his wife's name as Ann / Anne.
I am trying to locate the surname of his wife Ann / Anne.
Any information would be appreciated.

Can't see a marriage to an Anne

Hi garstonite,
The name Nancy was originally a form of Anne or Ann.

Will check it out.
Thanks for the information.

I removed it - the date was too late ?   he would be far too old

Thanks for looking anyway

Not sure if that date of 1686 is when you think Richard Willets was married, his date of birth or his date of death.
Have you seen there are  at least a couple of references to a Richard Willetts in Rowley Regis/Staffs on The NAtional Archives CAtalogue around the right dates, which could be him, or at least a member of his family.

Although TNA give you a precis of each one, you never know what gems might turn up in the full document.
