I am revisiting my TILLEY family from the Langtons. I keep finding a TILLEY marrying a TILLEY - and usually the relationship is quite obvious (first or second cousins). The curiosity arises with this:
William TILLEY married Mary Ann TILLEY in Thorpe Langton on August 26th 1826 "after Banns and with the consent of parents". William was the son of William TILLEY and Mary Ann SWINGLER born about 1807. From her headstone, Mary Ann was 95 years old when she died in 1888 - making her about 14 years older than William who was still under 20 (the reason for the parental consent?).
The problem is I cannot find a Mary Ann to match that time frame in the Langtons. But there could have been such a birth - to Thomas Tilley and Anne Berry - and baptised in Lubenham on November 10th 1793 (a village only five miles distant).
Are there any Lubenham Tilley researchers who could verify or deny such a postulate?
Many thanks
