Birth: 1 Oct 1751
Of: Crogen-iddon, Llangollen

I cannot find the marriage of Hugh and Sinah.
Can anyone else?
-
Hugh Roberts married Sinah Edwards 24 June 1746 at Ruabon
-
That's wonderful. Thank you.
Do you mind telling me where you looked that up. I mainly use FamilySearch.org and findmypast.co.uk and I couldn't find it there.

It is on F M P but transcript has Sarah Edwards, original is Sinah. I have submitted a correction to them
-
Fabulous! Thank you.
I should have checked the Sarahs. I have had a John Hulme, male labourer - transcribed as Ann Hulme.
Kind Regards

Just found Sinah's baptism - that was transcribed as Sarah too.
-
I have to admit that when I saw her name was Sinah my first thought was try Sarah as an alternative, sometimes people transcribe what they want to see. :) It is quite clear as Sinah on her marriage.

Actually, it looks like the clerk might have written something else and rubbed it out in the baptism (top one).
