Ware Residents Marrying in London circa 1800

Hi there, not sure if i am doing it right but saw you had a posting about Tillcocks from Ware. I am descended from William Tillcock and was wondering if you had any information on him or the other Tillcocks.
Many thanks John

Hello,
I hope you are still monitoring this posting! I'm descended from the William Tillcock & Sarah White marriage. I'm sure you've figured out the answer to your question by now, but I do know that you were on the right track. I have William's father's will and he mentions Maria's husband as being Edward Hale. I too had wondered how William and Sarah had ended up marrying in London. Are you related to the Tillcocks?

Thank you chatters!

I needed reminding about "suitcase marriages".

Wonderful!
Off we go (again)

Just one more for the pot.  I am descended from the John Tillcock/Mildred Chapman marriage and Yes! for whatever reason,  more than a few of their descendants married in London.

Chooch.

I'd just like to say what an eye-opener this thead has been.  My g.g. grandmother Mary Wood was born in Chipping, Herts (just down the road from Buntingford), and my g.g. grandfather came from "Middlesex, London".   I've been trying to find a link between the two places for ages, and after reading this thread, the penny finally dropped !

Many thanks to all

In the same context as this thread.  The area surrounding London consisted mainly of farms providing for the city.  You thus would find members of the farming families transporting, by cart, produce including hay into London on a regular basis.  They were thus familiar with London and had many opportunities to meet their future partners there.

Hi John - I haven't yet done three posts so it won't let me send or receive PMs.

Yes, your Sampson was the brother of my Thomas Staines Tillcock, son of William. Sampson had three children right? Henry, Horace, and Anna Maria?

You can email me at (*).
