HI
Just wondering if some kind soul would be able to do a lookup for a marriage for me please. The marriage is between Thomas Hills Warren and Mary Ann Jane Price on the 8 Dec 1806 at St Mary's Portsea. I have lots of information on Thomas but nothing on Mary Ann Jane Price and looking for some clue as to where she comes from, clue to age, family (witnesses), anything that might help.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Kate

Hi Kate, I was at Hampshire Record Office today and looked up the marriage :)
Thomas Hills Warren was a Bachelor and Mary Ann Jane Price a Spinster both of the Parish of St Mary's Portsea. They both signed their names (and wrote well as if they were properly literate and not able only to write their names) and the witnesses to their marriage were A Warren (on the first line) and then on the line below are Elizth Harman (or possibly Harnam) and James ?Ferris? Warren (all witnesses similarly wrote their own names well).
I guess both of them were of full age as it doesn't say otherwise and at the time of their marriage they were both of St Mary's Portsea but that seems to be the only pointers on the record.
Sorry it didn't shed any more light than that.
Regards, Heather

Familysearch.org has this likely candidate.......
Thos. Hills Warren baptised 30 May 1788 at St, Mary's Portsea. Parents Thos. and Ann Warren.
That makes him 18 when marrying.
Two further children baptised at St. Mary's Portsea to Thomas and Ann.....so his brother and sister....
Anne Hills Warren bapt 17 June 1786
Thomas Benjamin Warren bapt 23 Dec 1799
I presume you may already have that info.....
There are several permutations for Mary Ann before her marriage.....

Dear TheMc and HeatherLynne
My apologies for this very late reply, I only was able to reestablish my rootschat profile this last few weeks and never received the information you posted unfortunately till now. I have been unable to login for some unknown reason for over 3 years!
TheMc - I did not have some of this information so I am very thankful to you for it. Thank you also to HeatherLynne for the marriage look up as it was inciteful indeed :)
James Ferris Warren was Thomas Hills Warrens brother, A Warren would have been his mother.
Again my apologies for not replying earlier than this
Kind Regards
Kate
