The Common Room / Re: Attempted Bigamy
« on: Thursday 28 January 10 20:29 GMT (UK)  »
I have two men on my family tree who both seem to have married 3 times in the same church, while the first wife was still alive. Both were in the late 1700's. Both remarried quite a short time after the first marriage, as if the first had just not worked out.

I wondered if the church allowed amicable separations in some cases, but if so I don't think it was properly legal.

Anyone have similar experiences?

Thank you for noticing this, it is indeed William that married Margaret (Clitheroe), and so far I do not have records for any of the children either. I would be really glad to have these!

I've sent the rest in a PM, thanks!

Thanks very much for checking anyway, at least I know now where he isn't!

The strange thing is that I'm sure a relative found an entry somewhere which gave the mother as Mary Eastham, but I have no idea where this was and what the details were, if any! Another mystery ...

Thanks again

Clare

Thanks to both of you for the info on the online catholic records, that's really exciting! I think I may find other family lines in there too, so a very useful link.

I haven't found a William the right age yet, but getting closer!

St Joseph's Brindle now complete.

I'd still be really grateful for any info from St Mary's Brownedge. I've checked Euxton Hall and Salmesbury, if there are any other RC registers in the Cuerden area in 1790-95 then I'd be interested to know. Thanks

Hi, thanks very much. I saw that posting and it prompted me to ask for the lookup, but I thought I had to do it by posting a new request. I don't seem to be able to reply to the original posting, I think it's locked.

Maybe he/she was overwhelmed by requests!

Thanks anyway!

I would be really greatful if anyone could look for the baptism of William Eastham, born c. 1795 in Cuerden, and almost certainly baptised as RC. I imagine he would therefore have been baptised at either St Joseph's Brindle or St Mary's Brownedge.

Age given as 56 in 1851, but 50 in 1841, so I would expect him to be born between 1790 and 1795.

Thanks

Clare
