Mary Rosall Born c 1734

[ericthepenguin1]

Hi

I hold a 1768 marriage bond, (dated 1/7/1768), for a Samuel Aston and a Marry Rosall. It was found On-Line at Lancashire Archives and states that Mary Rosall was a widow aged 34. They were married in the parish of Poulton-Le-Fylde, (on 2/7/1768).

I assume the name Rosall would have been her 1st husbands surname. I have tried finding the 1st marriage and all i can come up with, that looks a possible, is a Richard Rosall marrying a Mary Hudson in Garstang in 1753, (12 miles away), but I cannot find a burial record for him.

Can some kind person help me out?

Many thanks

Eric

Eric -- Richard 'Rossall' and Mary Hudson may have married at Garstang but according to their marriage record on Lancs OPC Richard was from Bispham and Mary from Thistleton, Kirkham.

Hence there is a Fylde connection again. Having said that I can't find a burial at the moment for an adult Richard.

From Lancs OPC;

Can't see a marriage licence for this couple in Lancs. Archives catalogue.

There are several Richard Rossall wills in LANCAT.

Thanks guys.

I have found a baptism record for a Mary Hudson in Kirkham dated 4th February 1733 in the record set 'Lancashire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812'

I had the date when the bond was signed wrong, it was the 7th January 1768, (see link)

which would make Ann Hudson 34. So it appears she is the one I am looking for. I would prefer finding a burial record for her husband though, to make it as near 100% certain as it can be.

Regards

Eric

Just teaches me to look at the actual image of the parish records. The following link take you to whats on Anc, is that REALLY the surname "Hudson"

Looks like Hudson to me and www.lan-opc.org.uk also have it as Hudson. They are living in Thistleton.

I have to say it didn't look like Hudson to me actually -- it looked more like how the scribe wrote his very fancy capital 'L' s.

However it does look as though it is correct as Hudson because there is the following marriage preceding the baptism on Lancs OPC;

Marriage: 29 Dec 1730 St Michael, Kirkham, Lancashire, England
William Hudson - Thisleton
Mary Wilkinson - Eccleston

I don't have a sub so I can't look at it. However, browsing Kirkham transcriptions on LANOPC last night, I wondered if Hodson and Hudson were the same.
As a marriage licence added an extra cost to a wedding, either they had money to spare or they didn't want banns called for some reason. Any indications that they weren't C. of E.?  Catholic registers in all places where they might have married or had babies baptised began too late. There were unofficial burial grounds belonging to religious minorities.
