Certainly.......

William Martin (my g.g. grandfather, b. abt 1811) married to Mary

Thomas Martin (b. abt 1805), married to Amy

Sorry, I don't know the exact birth dates.


Well, just to update, I got the birth certificate for George Martin (William's youngest son), and the mother's maiden name was WOOD.  Hasn't got me much further, yet, though, but I will keep trying !

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

My grandfather and his brother married two sisters. (Not from the same family!). It wasnt a joint wedding, I think there were a few years between them.

Makes the family tree a bit more difficult to draw out!

Swansea - Thomas, Williams, Howell, David, Rees, Griffiths, Jenkins, Bevan
Rutland - Hales
Derbyshire - Harlow, Riley, Pemberton, Aldred
Yorkshire - Stamper, Boyes, Duke

Hertfordshire - Bishop
Cornwall - Johns, Soper, Rowe, Ball, Webb, Dunn, Quintrell, Hain, Oliver

Just thought I'd update you all on my "brothers and sisters".....

With some help from RootsChat members (particularly DebbieG) I have now located the sisters, and they came from Chipping in Hertfordshire.  Debbie figured out which parish to look in, and there they were.  Now all I have to do is track down where the two brothers were originally from !

I'm so glad I found RootsChat.  Without it, I think I would probably have given up my searching.  Thanks all  :)

I have two brothers marrying two sisters.
A daughter from one couple married a son from the other couple.  :o  :o

Just for the record I am not a direct descendant of this line, but it would explain a lot  ;D
