Title: Thomas HANDLEY and his two wives
Post by: Worlygigger on Friday 29 July 22 16:46 BST (UK)

It would be much appreciated if someone could look up the Brassington or Ashbourne marriage registers for a marriage between Thomas Handley and Rachel XXXXXXXX. This probably occurred in about 1824. Rachel died in about 1844 and Thomas married again to Ann Walton in AMJ 1845 Ashbourne. Exact date would be useful. Many thanks.
(Headstone to Thomas and Ann in Brassington churchyard which I hope to visit before the end of the year.)

Sorry, BumbleB, I should have looked on Ancestry but I'm not used to finding pre-1838 parish records on the site. I'll put a bit more effort in next time!

No problem - we all have to learn something at some time  ;D

I just went to UK Parish Records and put in a name!!

Both of those Marriages are also on FreeREG

+ 7 bapts to Thomas/Rachel 1826-1839 (some as Hendley)
(looks like a few children died young)

RACHEL Handley was buried 20 Jan 1845 age 39
