Please can anyone find the details of a marriage between William Ashby born app 1765 and Sarah ?  the first child I can find for them is Ann baptised 1788 in Huntingdon

many thanks

Hi Debbie

No marriages fitting that description in Hunts I'm afraid. The nearest is William Ashby who married Elizabeth Riddle in Stilton in 1780. There's a William & Sarah marrying in Northants in 1786 on the IGI but that's very speculative - it was at Wilbarston which is up near the Leics border, so doesn't look very promising.

There's a Sarah Ashby (transcribed Ashley) 70 in Huntingdon St Mary, born in county  in 1841 and a burial of Sarah Ashby in Huntingdon on 21 Feb 1849 age 84 which might be your Sarah

regards

David

Hi David - Thank you for looking at that for me (fair exchange  )

Yes I think the Sarah you found in 1841 is mine - shame that there is non of the rest of her family with her.  William who died in 1821 was a carter so the couple could well have come from elsewhere originally I suppose,  I can't find mention of the name in Huntingdon beofre they arrived.

Hi David
Sorry to barge in to your thread Debbie but am wondering if the Hunts marriage index covers c1742? Still hunting around for a marriage of my George Newell to Mary ??

Hi Jan

It covers all Hunts marriages up to 1837. I'd already checked when I was looking at your Beds thread but there's nothing I'm afraid.

That's two blanks on one thread. I must try harder!

Regards

Ah well thanks for looking!
Maybe they just didn't marry

Dear David
When you have time would you please look a Huntingdonshire marriage up for me.  I am researching the Watts family from Hemingford Abbots/Hemingford Grey area. I have hit a brick wall with Joseph Watts born 1802 at Huntingdon, who married Mary Lantaff from Hemingford Abbots born 22/4/184.  I have no marriage date but I think it was 1824/1825 as their first born was born in 1825. The marriage was probably at Hemingford Abbots. I am looking to find the parents of Joseph Watts and his occupation.
Many thanks

They married in 1823 in Hemingford Abbot; Joseph was of the parish of Hemingford Gray. The index gives no further information, but the parish register is unlikely to give a father's name - just the names of the witnesses
