Title: Gloucester RO look-up please
Post by: maggiefishblue on Tuesday 14 April 09 11:47 BST (UK)
If anyone is visiting Gloucester RO could they possibly look-up the following for me please?

I am looking for a marriage between Anthony Dowdeswell and Hannah Blizzard/Blissard that took place between c1645 - 1647.  I believe that Hannah may have been born in Buckland and Anthony in Kineton (Keynton/Keinton), Temple Guiting.

I have found an earlier marriage for Anthony Dowdeswell to Joane Small which is recorded in the 'Gloucestershire Marriage Allegation: Marriage Allegations in the Diocese of Gloucester page 14' on googlebooks - although it is only a snippet ....

I know that Joane died c1645 and that Anthony and Hannah Dowdeswell had a child baptised on 26th December 1647 at Temple Guiting (where Anthony was a yeoman) - so I am assuming they were married before then ...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Maggie  :)

Hi Maggie,
I thought I'd have a look at your data request whilst in Glos Archives today.
Source: Glos Archives PFC 65 IN 1/1 1, Buckland Marriages
No trace of a marriage between Anthony & Hannah.
Temple Guiting Marriages don't start until 1652.

Hi Victor,

Thank you for looking for me. 

I really have drawn a blank with these Blizzard/Blissards before Hannah and I thought that by finding this marriage I might be able to see in which direction I should be looking!

Ah well, back to the drawing board  :)
