Title: William Simons, Stathern, Leics.
Post by: elsie52 on Sunday 11 November 07 09:53 GMT (UK)
William Simons was born about 1794 in Stathern, Leicestershire and was married to Alice Unknown born about 1791, possibly in Long Clawson.

I know it's a long shot, but would anyone be able to find their marriage date and her maiden name?

Thank you.

Hello Victor

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to this old post of mine. They do indeed belong to me. It just shows it pays to post questions on rootschat as there's always a chance someone will answer you even if it takes nearly four years! Never give up.

Thank you again.

Kind regards

Linda

Not sure if you have this information now although perhaps this is your marriage over the border in Bingham, Nottinghamshire - around 4 miles from Long Clawson?

Possible baptism for Alice Barnes:

Thank you very much Trubrit. I think there is every chance that this is the marriage of William and Alice and the other information is relevant too. I knew that this side of the family were in the Vale of Bevoir, but didn't know they were close to Edwalton where I grew up.

Thanks once again. :)

I just found this site, hope link still open

I get back to William Simons, my ancestor, working in Burton on the Wolds, leics
Married 1778 aged 20yrs to Sarah Wainwright aged 18 at Hoton Church, Leics.
Records show he was 'given away' at wedding by his employer, a farmer, as he was under 21
The marriage was by special licence of which I have a copy.
I would be pleased for any links pleaase
