Marriage of William Beesley to Jane Brains 1796
« on: Wednesday 19 May 21 11:22 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have found a transcript on FindMyPast of the above marriage - I believe William to be my 4x grandfather.
The record shows in both Westminster marriages and Boyds Marriage index.

My question is - is the original source likely to provide further details such as age, address, fathers name etc. and if so how would I get access to the original source documents?

Many thanks

The marriage image is on Ancestry.  The only additional information are the witnesses Thos Woodcock & T H Thompson.

Thankyou Rosie99 thats great thanks for looking.

Interesting though because I searched Ancestry as well and couldn't find a record of the marriage on there!!

Thanks

Thankyou Rosie99 that link did work. Just need to find some corroboration that he is the right William Beesley - more often Beasley at later dates. However I notice that they both signed with a mark so wouldn't have known the difference.
The witnesses are also no help because I see that they witnessed a number of other marriages on the same page. Makes me wonder if they got paid for their services.  :D

Thanks again for your help
