Title: Marriage request William Collier and Ann Wells
Post by: boothby on Thursday 11 August 05 11:06 BST (UK)

I am searching for the marriage of William Collier born 1825 Hull and Ann Wells born 1824 Thorne it would be in the 1840's as I have family born from 1846 in Hook.

HI I HAD A LOOK ON VARIOUS SITES & FOUND NOTHING, ALSO CHECKED MY PARISH RECORDS, THEN I CHECKED ON YORKSHIRE BMD & FOUND A MARRIAGE FOR ANN WELLS TO A WILLIAM COLLIER LEE IN 1846 HULL TRINITY, HULL. REF 22/334 FOR GRO, FOR HULL REGISTERS HD/8/389

ANN WAS CH 26 OCT 1823 IN THORNE
FATHER RICHARD WELLS
MOTHER MARY

CANNOT FIND ANYMORE ON WILLIAM. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE HIS MOTHER REMARRIED & HE TOOK THE NAME OF LEE, I HAD ONE LIKE THAT & IT TOOK ME 5YRS TO SOLVE IT.

HI PAM, MOIRA HERE AGAIN, JUST HAD A LOOK ON 1881 CENSUS & FOUND THEM LIVING AT HOOK, DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU HAVE ALREADY GOT THIS.

WILLIAM COLLIER  56YRS HULL VESSEL OWNER
ANN COLLIER  57YRS  THORNE
HARRIET COLLIER DAUR 24YRS GOOLE
THOMAS PANTON VISITOR
JANE ANN PANTON  "

LILY PANTON  "

ADDRESS   25 MARSHFIELD TERRACE, HOOK ,YORK

LOKKING AT THIS IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE MARRIED AROUND 1855/56

I LIVE AT THORNE & ALL MY FAMILY WERE ON THE BARGES, SAILING TO HULL & BACK.

Hi Moira Thanks for that I did have those details but it is great to know your folks were from Thorne. I have found a record of birth for a William Collier Lee in 1837 Hull Trinity Church that seems much too young to be our William (it is an unusual name though and he may have been baptised as an older child as the birth would appear to be out of wedlock)but he and Ann must have married around 1846 as they have family from then on
Regards
Pam

hi pam, if i was you i would write to hull register office & ask if anns parents are richard & mary on the cert, the 1846 one, do you know williams parents names. They are not too bad at some offices, you have to enclose the fee of  £7, but if it is not right they will refund it all back.

Thanks Moira I shall do that as I can see no other way of determining William's parents
