I still have not found a marriage for William and Mary Mobbs/Mobbes! William is buried in Hethe on 25th August 1776 and Mary is buried at Hethe on 10th November 1745. I have currently 5 dna matches on my Ancestry tree with descendants of each of them.
Their first child christened in Hethe, I have as Elizabeth, chr. 3rd January 1731 (1732 in the PR, when the year went to the end of March). Their second child, Mary was chr. 16th April 1733, Hethe.
I believe that William Mobbs was chr. at Whitfield, Northamptonshire on the 27th August 1706. His mother was named Prudence. Hence why I believe this to be correct as my line descends from William and Mary's daughter, Prudence, probably named after her grandmother?
Therefore William and Mary's marriage potentially is 1728 to 1731 but to date no success.
I have Mary as nee Phillips on my tree. I believe her to be the Mary Phillips chr. on 3rd September 1711 at Chipping Norton with Over Norton, her father is named as John. It took me a few years to accept that this was most likely her but I always hope in these instances that there will be primary source evidence eventually found to 100% confirm or not?
Whitfield, Hethe and Chipping Norton are relatively close on a map when considering the geographical facts.
I hope this helps.
