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
