Hi,

The record you are asking about is as follows:

William Saunders of the Royal Army of Reserve attach'd to the 28th Regt of Foot
and
Ann Ridge of this parish Widow
Married 25th October 1803

For info, there were 2 other marriages on the same day (25th Oct 1803) for members of the 28th Regt of Foot on the same page of the parish register;
William Rowe & Catharine Colwell
Thomas Palmer & Mary Smale

I hope this helps.

Hi again,

I am not sure what is the best way to let you see the photos.  I have them attached to my Ancestry tree, and I can send you an invite to that if you can let me have your email address.

Incidentally, the pictures of John and Eleanor Ratnett are actually portraits that I have taken photos of.  The original portraits hang in my Dad's study.  That all sounds very exciting, but I am afraid they are not the most attractive folks (bit grumpy looking), and that's why my Mum won't let him hang them anywhere else in the house!!

Hi Doreen

My great great grandfather was William Stewart Tull (1824 - 1896).  He married Charlotte Key (1834 - 1891; daughter of Edward Key and Rebecca Ratnett). The Tulls, Keys and Ratnetts were quite close and can be found at one another's homes in Northampton, London and Huntingdonshire in various censuses. 

William and Charloitte had 8 children and for some reason (maybe related to mixed fortunes which William Stewart Tull was subject to), Charlotte's sisters Rachel and Emma Key brought up my great grandfather Harry Tull.

Harry went on to have two children  - my grandfather Leslie Stuart Tull and my great aunt Sybil May Tull.  Unfortunately Leslie died before I was born, but I knew my great aunt Sybil quite well, and she remembered the Key sisters well.

I have quite a lot of additional information about them (including numerous photos) if you are interested.

Regards,
Liz
