Title: Look-up request: Marriage in Wendover
Post by: LizzieA on Wednesday 27 February 13 18:51 GMT (UK)

Would someone be able to check the details of a marriage in the parish of Wendover for me please? The couple's names are William NASH and Lydia CLARKE and I have a date of 15 December 1794.

Many thanks

Lizzie

Many thanks for this; I really appreciate your help.

William Nash was my 5 x g great grandfather so I'm now going to look for his first marriage.

Banns only  -9  Nov 1794.  William NASH otp to Lydia CLARK, of the parish of Wendover.


Burial - 5 Apr 1791.  Ann NASH, affidavit made by Rachel Brackley.  (Maybe,  Ann (nee.East)).

I so wish this was William's first marriage, but as he was born in 1775, it definitely isn't  :)

As he would only have been 19 years old when he married Lydia, his first marriage must presumably have taken place some time between say 1791 and 1794. I've no luck so far in Bucks but did wonder if  he had married 'over the border'.

Of course the Ann Nash burial may still turn out to be his first wife....

Thank you again and also for the banns info.

Have you asked BucksFHS to do a marriage database search for you.    I think it costs £1 for a single name search.

This can be done online, using a credit/debit card.
