Miles and Mary

[Gadget]

Given her age is given as 63 on the 1851, this is the most likely baptism

Wellington 12 April 1789

Mary d of John and Catherine Ellis

The reason i,m trying to find Miles is thus:  Joseph Vaughan married Margaret Ellis 1805, it was signed as witness by Miles Wadkiss. The only one of age i can see is the one born in 1786. Margaret had a brother, John who married Catherine. In 1841, Catherine lived next door to Miles,s sons before they married

Why marry in Wrockwardine? Miles from Dawley. (No pun intended)

It was 1807 according to the parish register

Ok same yr as Miles and Mary. Can anyone see the marriage cert of Miles/Mary? Witness might be interesting?

The signatures look different,

1 is as a a witness
2 is as groom



Add - unless Miles was practicing  different writing styles

 Unless Miles was practicing  different writing styles as only the first letters (capitals) are different

Miles Watkiss married Mary Ellis 19 July 1807 in Wrockwardine. Witnesses were Thomas Ellis and John Houlston (he witnessed many weddings si is probably a Parish Clerk).

Could he write? That would be unusual for the time. Yes thanks Emeltom for that. Think Thomas would be Marys uncle and i,m 95% sure my GFX5
