Miles and Mary

[Gadget]

Widow is written in the occupation column and has been struck out. Possibly because it should not be entered there.

See attached.

Have you considered this Mary in the 1851

William Hayward m Rebecca Watkiss on 1 April 1839 at Wrockwardine.

Rebecca's father is given as Miles Watkiss

[Annette7]

The baptism in 1833 is for an Eliza (not Elizabeth).

Following on from the baptisms given by Gadget i.e. Emmah 1808, Drusillah 1809, Elizabeth 1812 we then have Ellen 1814, Rebecca bc.1817 who married William Hayward (can't find baptism), Leah 1819, followed by Mary 1821, Miles 1823, John 1826, William 1829 and Eliza 1833, so 11 children in all.

Miles Watkiss was buried on 4th Jan 1835, Wellington
His residence was Rock and he's aged 40.

I'd think that the 1810 marriage looks likely.

But this means he was born in 1795?

I did correct but seems to have disappeared or line went down. He was 50 when he died.

PS - no Thank Yous to any of us!

What might be of interest is the burial entry. His surname was first written as Ellis and then amended to Watkiss. I think that is further evidence  that the 1807 marriage is correct.


 

Miles Watkiss married Mary Ellis 19 July 1807 in Wrockwardine.
