Marriage record - Ann Miles. married 1838

[malevu]

Hi,

I'm an Aussie poster born in Nottingham with ancestors from Derbyshire and Leicestershire. All my research has been done online and I have no present family contacts to help me with my research that I am aware of.

Accordingly, I would be most appreciative if someone was able to check a marriage certificate for me.

For all of the 1700s and the first half of the 1800's it seems my forebears hailed from Leicestershire.
I have many relatives in towns like Bagworth, Heather, Measham, Twycross, Slawston, Hallaton, Lubenham and Great Bowden to name just a few.

My research shows my Great great great grandmother was Ann(e) Miles, born in Heather in 1798/9. Birth records indicate that her parents were Thomas and Elizabeth from Heather. However, I have for a long time been suspicious that her true parents were William and Sarah Miles. They were also from Heather and were not married at the time of Ann's birth but were to be married shortly after her birth.

I have tried to find any marriage details involving Ann in the hope that it might shed some light on her actual father. Recently I have come across a marriage in 1838 in Market Bosworth of Ann Miles/Henry Bonsall.

I would be greatly appreciative if someone with access could look up their marriage certificate and let me know who is recorded as Ann's father.

I realise that I could purchase the marriage certificate myself, as I have done with many others. However, as I can't be certain that the record is even the Ann Miles I'm looking for I was hoping to save an unnecessary expense.

If anyone could help by checking the marriage record I would be most appreciative. The reference numbers are Year - 1838, Folio 15, Line No. 105, District - Market Bosworth, Quarter - July/Sept
Ann Miles / Henry Bonsall.

Many thanks,
Paul

I don’t see an image on line

But PRs can be viewed at an LDS library.  Are they open in Australia?

 but I can’t help thinking Ann may have been a widow as in 1841
There are 3 sons, 15, 10 & 8, named Miles Bonsall. 
Either that or they finally decided to marry

Rounded ages are
Ann 40
George 50

Nothing showing on the Leicestershire marriage images on FindMyPast.

The censuses give her birth as Polesworth, Warwickshire. Although 1841-51 give her birth as 1801, in 1861 it was 1811.

There was an Ann Miles, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth baptised in Polesworth on 23rd September 1810. It gives her birth but not very clear - possibly 18th September.

P.S. Just found some trees which has Ann's husband as Francis Bates.

Also, Ann is with her son, James, in 1871, birth in Polesworth 1806

She is born IN county , ie Leicestershire, in the 1841.
But yes, Polesworth 1851.
That rules her out doesn’t it.

Something strange with her age;

ANN Miles christened Market Bosworth, Leicestershire
HENRY 8 Feb 1825
ELIZA 11 Jun 1827

I think Ann was an inmate at St Josephs Home For Aged Persons, Church Lane, Kings Norton, Birmingham, in 1891.

This time she was born 1801 in Leicester. She was buried in Birmingham, Witton Cemetery, in 1884, age 82.

Birth birth place was Leicestershire twice and Polesworth three times. I can't find any definite leads on her parentage, so the certificate may be the only option.

Many thanks for all your prompt replies. All of them have given me more food for thought and I am very appreciative that you took the time to check out my enquiry.

This has my interest. Ann's cousin (also Ann) was married in 1828 in Church Gresley to an Abraham  Bates. Could you point me in the direction of the source of the tree you referred to. Thx.
