My ancestor Thomas Cowling married Anne Swainson on 7 April 1788 in Pateley Bridge. He was a widower and she was a spinster according to the website I found the information on.
Thomas and Ann had three sons between c1788 and 1792.
I have no idea who his first wife was or when/where she was born so I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some advice on finding her.
Thanks.

Sorry I don't have anymore information on this.
I guess that's why I haven't had any replies :-\

I've tried Family Search, but nothing, I'm afraid.

I've looked at a few sites as well and couldn't find anything. I think I'll contact the site I got the information from to see if they know anything else.

H Gibby, on the F/search IGI (indexed) there is the marriage to Anne, then there is a marriage to a Jane moodd
25/09/1800, so is it possible that Anne was his first wife? Dave.
-
Thanks for that.
So it looks like the information maybe wrong ???
I have several Thomas Cowling ancestors so it's a bit complicated!
-
Where did you find the marriage of Thomas and Anne, where it showed Thomas as a widower? Have YOU seen the parish register entry?
If you use Family Search, then that is only a search guide - you HAVE to see the parish registers, where extra information is often recorded. :)
-
I have not seen the parish registers myself.
I found the information on the wharfegen website that was given to me by another Roots member recently when I had a different query about my Cowling family.
I cannot get out to see these things with my own eyes as I am a wheelchair user so access is a major problem.

Thomas Cowling died on 15 December 1833 and his wife Anne on 5 May 1846.
Both are buried at St Cuthbert's in Pateley Bridge. I found this information on another very useful website.

I looked up Pateley Bridge Old Parish records several years ago (on microfilm in Northallerton). For Thomas & Anne's marriage it does not help much:
Widower & Spinster both of this parish. Witnesses John & Jane Swainston
I have not found a record of the first marriage for Thomas yet... Although they seem to have had a son William b. 1780 and died 1790.
Hope this helps, Jenny

I am still wading through the many hints I still have for my ancestry tree. There are thousands!
Thanks for the information.
-
I also have a public tree on ancestry called Descendants of Johannis Cowling, in which I tried to come forward on all lines from Johannis (John) Cowling who married Elizabeth Taylor in 1708, I believe most of the Cowlings from Pateley Bridge are descended from them. I can't guarantee everything is 100% correct, if you do find any errors please let me know. I hope one day all will tie up!!
Hope this helps,
Kind regards, Jenny

I found you on Facebook a while back and sent a friends request. Did you see it?

Sorry, I hardly ever go on facebook these days - too many adverts! I prefer to just email.
