Essex / Re: Which John Hayden married Matilda Clarke

Quote from: BumbleB on Today at 14:03
the page number for the 1903 marriage between John Hayden and Matilda Clarke is high = 1183

Page range is 1169 to 1210, so not that high!
Marriages on page 1185 were parish church (Hockerill)

There's another thread (perhaps not a surprise!)
Topic: clarification on the siblings
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=883733.0

First known child of John Fortt and Ann Bishop may be James, baptised 9 Dec 1792 (who is not on Jason's FS  tree?)

Did he marry Margaret Blackmore in 1825?

To be fair to ancestry, it is slightly scrawly handwriting.
The capital G reminds me of how we were taught to write it at school when we were learning to do "joined up" writing (which apparently is really called "cursive" writing!)

There's a W Gill arriving in New Zealand in November 1911 on the SS Ramuera from London.

I think I meant the SS Remuera!
Anyway on the outgoing passenger list he seems to be transcribed on ancestry as Mr W Usill
Travelling 3rd class. No age given, but he is single, and a Clerk.

Interestingly the Remeura is said to have departed London on the 29th September, which is a couple of days before William Gill's father was buried in Prudhoe.

Can anyone find a Newspaper Article that week that gives more information ?

It's reported in several newspapers on 14 February 1881
Newcastle Journal, Northern Echo, York Herald
Newcastle Courant, 18 February

Finding the right Ann Bishop is the biggest problem.
But there is still the 1841 census puzzle. We have a possible John Fortt, but the Ann with him is 25
