Nottingham St Mary's marriage details. Whitworth and Purcel.
« on: Monday 05 January 09 17:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Does anyone have access to more detailed descriptions of marriage banns or licences for Nottingham St Mary please?
I found on the IGI that George Whitworth married Priscilla Purcel 24th August 1794 at Nottingham St Mary but I was wondering if anyone could look up the details and see if their parents were named and who the witnesses were. I am trying to get further back and can't find a baptism for Priscilla or one that looks like George. I believe George was born c1776 in Nottingham but I don't know which district, the birth year is worked back from age at death in Tuxford in 1847. Likewise Priscilla would be c1771 from her death in Tuxford in 1845.
These are my 4x Great Grandparents so any information which gives me a new lead would be fantastic.
Thanks,
Kate.

There's nothing else appearing on the Notts FHS records about their marriage that you haven't already got.

I presume you knew that they had a son named George, baptised 28th July 1798, St Marys Nottingham. He's the only child recorded for them.

There's only 1 possible baptism that I've come across for a George Whitworth, which I have to say doesn't look very likely -  parents Edward and Sarah, 30th October 1773 at Newark.

There were a couple of Priscilla's baptised at St Marys Nottingham around 1771:-

Needham, parents James & Elizabeth, 6th March 1773
Moore, parents Robert & Priscilla, 25th November 1774.

Hi BG,
I also only found the one son George.
Thanks for looking for me but like you I have doubts about the one record that looked anything like my family.
All the best,
Kate.
