Title: Wilton marriage look up please
Post by: Juelzee on Saturday 20 August 22 20:41 BST (UK)
Hi,
I am trying to find a marriage for Edward Watts and  Mary around 1700.   Edward lived in Ramsbury but the nearest I have found is in Wilton. 24 June 1699   ? Watts to Mary Rawlins.  Found the entry on family search and FindMyPast but nothing of it anywhere that can be viewed.  I would be most grateful for any help with this.

The parish record for the above marriage is on Ancestry but only states the same information as posted. A family tree notes that the couple had three children Thomas, Jane & Edward.
Does this compare to what you know?

Hi Colin,

Edward had 11 children in all.  No10 is my line.  No mothers are mentioned on the baptisms but gleaming info from the burials his partners were Mary, Katherine and then my line, Mary.   I have not been able to find any marriages so far.
Katherine died in 1698 and the next child born was Mary in 1706.

Thanks Colin,
 I have all the childrens baptisms but no marriages.   As I can not find anything for Ramsbury so looking a little further afield.
