Title: Marriage of Rev Dr Theodore Waterland (1681-1764)
Post by: alan.h on Monday 11 May 20 13:02 BST (UK)

I am trying to locate the marriage for this man and am going round in circles. I believe he was married to Mary Wheatley but I cannot now find the source of that information.

I cannot find anything on Ancestry or Family Search. I don't have a subscription to Find My Past but there looks like something hopeful in 1726!

Thanks, Alan

FindMyPast have an entry in the transcription book of "Register of Marriages in Gray's Inn Chapel" -

Theodore Waterland rector of Long Stanton, co. Cambridge and Mary Yate of the parish of St Michael Royal, London - 9 June 1726

Is there any possibility of getting information from the actual source rather than the transcription of it? It is Mary WHEATLEY or WHEATLY than I am related to. Her brother was also a clergyman in London so it all fits together - except now for this missing link. I'm so annoyed with myself that I haven't got a record of where I got the detail from! I cant have imagined it. Could Wheatley have been misread as Yate? Thanks so much for your help

Was Mary Yate a widow? That would fit!

There is no indication that Mary was a widow.  I've attempted to go back to the beginning of the book to find more information:

Supplement:  Register of Marriages in Gray's Inn Chapel 1695-1774 Alphabetically Arranged by Joseph Foster. 

The book is the property of the College of Arms.

Ok. Thanks so much for looking. Since posting that I've found a Mary Wheatly who married Joseph Yate and then a Joseph Yate died in London a couple of years before Mary Yate married Theodore Waterland. Theodore Watwrland is a pretty unique name, fortunately..... so I will keep digging. Thanks very much for your help. Alan
