I have a relative John Turley 1575-1661 lived in Sedgley, who appears to have married a Catherine Oldenburg Princess of Norway and Denmark 1580-1675 which leaves me wondering what was she doing in Sedgley where she is said to have died, any way I can prove either way maybe church records any advice appreciated..

I too have this ancestor and have come across the same suggested marriage.  It doesn't appear to be a valid claim.  However, she may be a daughter-in-law of Frederick II as one of his sons did marry a Catherine who was widowed in 1624 and left desolate.  She remarried at least once.  For fun I'm following this line of discovery.  But, I don't expect to find much.  For reference her name was Catherine Hahn-Hinrichshagen.  She was from an old noble family of Hahn. If I learn anything interesting, I will share.  Again, I'm not expecting to find that she is my ancestor.
