Hi all,
In my tree I have a John Rowland bapt. 20-11-1791 in Buckland, Berks (s/o Edward & Mary).
I have not been able to find a marriage for him but believe he married about 1825is possibly a Mary.
In the 1851 & 1861 census he is a widr and lists Buckland as his place of birth and has a g/son Daniel living with him in 1861
I wouldld appreciate some help in finding his marriage.
(His g/son was aged 13 in the 1861 census and born in Stanford, Berks but having looked at the transcripts for Stanford-in-the-Vale failed to find him and wonder if his name is recorded as "Rowland" for convenience sake"

Thank you both.
Looking at the Stanford baptisms I have found 3 children bapt. with parents John & Mary (1817, 1820 & 1822). I already had Elizabeth's bapt. in Buckland.
Still no marriage if correct parents.

Daniel "Rowland" could be Daniel Cox son of his daughter Anne who married William Cox.
He is with his father a widower in 1851 age 6 - born circa 1844.
Anne must have died between 1844 and 1851 - not found it yet.
ADDED
Daniel was baptised 23 November 1844 Stanford in the Vale son of William and Ann Cox.

Many thanks for all your help.
Still a mystery of when & who John married.
The only possible marriage I have found is for John Rowland, widower of Newnham to Mary Platt 17-6-1811 in Nately Hants by Licence.
This parish is some distance from Buckland and Stanford in the Vale.

If they followed naming patterns his father was William (first son named after paternal grandfather)
and his mother Sarah - second daughter named after paternal grandmother.
The first daughter Elizabeth being named for her maternal grandmother.
Elizabeth Rowland servant age 27 married Charles Woodley 7 November 1841 at Radley
Her father John Rowland
His father James Woodley
She died 1842 age 26 ? reg. Abingdon Union -probably after giving birth to son George.
Charles Woodley then marries Hannah Brown 1844 reg. Abingdon
-
Are there any other Rowland families in the same village ?
Have you found John as a witness to any other marriages.
In case you don't have his son John 1826 was buried age 10 months in 1827 at Stanford in the Vale.
