1750s-60s Yateley marriage: William WATTS
« on: Wednesday 12 March 08 18:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I know that William WATTS married Martha Lock in Yateley on 27 Sep 1771 but he was a widower.

I've tried to find any possible previous marriages for him but have been unsuccessful. Can anyone fine any possible Yateley marriages?

Cheers.

Hi marcie.

I haven't been able to check the Yateley parish records yet.

I'd be great if you could check and let me know if you find anything.

Cheers.

The thread is old but I still haven't resolved this one.

Thanks a lot for this info. Where did you find it?

I have a copy of the Yateley Parish Records!

But could only find the William stated above as anything prior to 1771 - that marriage is also listed.

It would not be uncommon for an elderly widower to re-marry a younger lady.

One of my male relations married at 58 to a girl of 22 becuase he wanted someone to take care of him - they even had children!!!

If I can be of any help please let me know.
