Gloucestershire Parish Registers - JAMES

[maddys52]

Presumably this is another child of Daniel and Elizabeth - baptised 26 March 1773 at St Mary de Lode, parents Daniel COATS and Elizabeth.

They were actually married 16 October 1769, the banns read on 24 September,  8 &15 October 1769 St Mary De Crypt

Witness Amelia Quarington
(Elizabeth was of St Michael)

Amelia was of the parish of St Michael. She married Samuel Webster in 1772. Her father, Daniel Quarington, wrote his will in March 1769. Guess who witnessed Daniel's will? Betty James. The way she writes her surname is (in my opinion) identical to how she signs it on her marriage entry. She has an unusual 'J', which looks more like an 'i'.

Obviously a connection here, but is it familial?

Not that it probably matters, but familysearch have transcribed Amelia QUARINGTON as marrying Samuel BAGSTER on 16 Dec 1772. I haven't seen the original image so don't know which is correct.

My apologies, you are correct. I must have typed a letter wrong and autocorrect changed it to Webster.

(free to join, just register)

Has transcribed, along with Parish Records, (under Resources) thousands of:

Gloucestershire Marriage Licence Allegations 1637-1837 and
Marriage Bonds 1730-1823.

More often than not, there are two copies, one being a Marriage Licence and the other Marriage Allegation - each giving different details.

This can be a useful tool when researching Ancestors, as age, occupation plus  witnesses with their occupations etc.

for example you did mention Brockworth.

13 February 1747, Daniel COATES, Widower, residence, Brockworth
married
Ann ORGAN, bride at age of marriage 30, Spinster, residence, Brockworth

Marriage by Licence:
He marks

Event type: Marriage Allegation
Memoranda: To Marry at Brockworth, Sworn before J Gregory
Transcriber's Notes: Old style date 1746/7.

Using the Soundex there are COATES/COTES/COATS.

In the Forest of Dean transcribed Parish Records for example

-----


20 May 1785

Richard COATES, residence: St John Baptist
married
Jane ALLEN, residence St Catherine Parish

by Licence: (although I can't see on the Forest of Dean Marriage Licences etc)

the Couple wed at : Gloucester St Mary de Lobe


---

There is also a facility to search on the same site to search for witnesses.  Again useful.


----

There are 4 Quarington/QUARRINGTON listed in the marriage licences - all in Gloucester St Mary de Crypt/Gloucester St Michael i.e. Edward, Constance and Mary.


----

William WEBLEY appears to be a witness at quite a few wedding - so some sort of Parish Clerk
