Family History Beginners Board / Re: Search for my father's first marriage records
« on: Saturday 03 January 26 14:43 GMT (UK)  »
Does your father appear on the 1939 register, perhaps with a wife?

If not, you have 4 possible 'wives' to investigate on the 1939 register.  Do you know if he had any children with his first wife?

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Ann Hammerton marriage about 1773

I had considered that Ann's marriage to Samuel Pallet may not have been her first but I can't find an earlier marriage for Ann nor can I find a Samuel Pallet in the right time frame.

I think the Hammertons lived in South Stoneham, probably in present day Hedge End, but often used Botley church as it was closer.

I think this is mystery that will not be solved.

Her father's will made in 1779 and was proved in 1804.

I do not know any children born to Samuel & Ann.  This is a side branch of my family.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Ann Hammerton marriage about 1773
« on: Monday 22 December 25 15:15 GMT (UK)  »
Ann Hammerton was baptised in 1753 at Botley.

She is mentioned in her father Thomas' will as the wife of Samuel Pallet.  For those who have access to Ancestry the will can be seen here

I can't find this marriage.

I've searched Ancestry, FindMyPast, Familysearch, Freereg and the HGS parish records transcriptions but could have missed it.  No Ancestry trees have a marriage for her.

There aren't many Pallets in Hampshire so she may have married away from her home parish.

Can anyone find a marriage for them?

Travelling People / Re: Jones/Eastwood in Kent & Sussex
« on: Wednesday 17 December 25 18:18 GMT (UK)  »
Were they from a traveller family?  Obed is traveller first name And the surname Brazil is also a traveller name.

There are some children of Obed & Phoebe listed here

Traveller family relationships were often complicated, surnames were not always consistent.

Obed Jones & Phoebe Eastwood are mentioned (by Romany Knaves) on the thread.

A possibility-
 William CATTLE married Elizabeth ATLAY, 17th December 1798 at Sheriff Hutton which is just north of York.  They married by licence.
