William Hitchman and Elizabeth

[trish1120]

So he may have married twice.

He may have been married twice. It would make sense because Mary was born in 1796 and Robert 11 years later 1807. Are there any other possible marriage in Berkshire or maybe Wiltshire/Oxfordshire between a William Hitchman and Elizabeth? The marriage 1783 in Wantage is still a possibility

Are there any other possible marriage in Berkshire for William Hitchman and Elizabeth

As per Trish's reply #8 - William Hitchman, widower to Elizabeth Hitchman both of Grove in Wantage. Witnesses were Thomas Hitchman & Joseph Stevens  15-11-1807 Wantage Sts.Peter & Paul.

There is a burial for an Elizabeth Hitchman
1 May 1798 Wantage.
Not sure of age, as I can only see a transcription.

It says "young".
Around this period there are various descriptions:  infant, boy, girl, young, middle-aged, old, very old.
Difficult to judge whether someone who was married in 1783 would be perceived as "young" or "middle-aged" fifteen years later.
