Marriage of Hugh Nevet to Mary??? before 1702
« on: Wednesday 21 December 22 01:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have six children born at Holy Trinity, Much Wenlock to Hugonis (Hugh) and Mariae (Mary) Nevet as follows: Maria 29 Dec 1702, Willus (William) 12 Aug 1705, Thomas 5 May 1708, Elizabeth(a) 10 Apr 1711; Hugh (Hugo) 17 Dec 1713 and Sarah 9 Oct 1715.

I am trying to find the marriage of the parents which I would assume could be up to two or three years prior to the first child and have come across two confusing alternatives.

1) From the Montgomeryshire Marriages & Banns database on findmypast there is:
          Hugh Nevett to Mary Reignald sometime during 1700 at Buttington Montgomeryshire

2) From Herefordshire Bishops Transcripts database on familysearch there is:
          Hugh Newett to Mary Reignald at Bicknor Kent

Does anyone have a way to see the actual written entries to verify the transcriptions?

Cheers, Colin

Hello,

I cannot help you with searching, other than to say . . .  from people who taught me . . . 

1 - Do not assume anything!    :)  They could well have married much closer to the date of the first child . . .  or even after (- - or even never.)   Someone once told me that in Wales it was considered quite OK/right to make sure the woman was fertile before getting married.   ;)

When looking for marriages I found it useful to give a date range about 5 - 10 years either side of when you guess it could be.

Have you subs to Find My Past or Ancestry?  or any other search site?

Good luck - be nice to find it for Christmas wouldn't it?  :)
