St. Mary's Alverstoke Marriage Register, WARRINER/WILDS

[Jennyalogy]

To Patrish & Little Nell,

I wrote to you yesterday but before I could get the email sent my internet session was finished, so I lost it.

I had been told that Phillis's maiden name was WILDS, and since then Parents and birthplaces of both Thomas & Phillis were recorded in the Baptism of one of their children at Kirby Moorside, Yorkshire - which confirmed the information.

Thank you very much for your help which I certainly appreciate.

All the best,
Jennyalogy

Well, I checked the marriage entry:

Entry No.99 Page 107

Thomas Warrannar & Phillis Wilds both of this Parish
Married in this Church by Banns 16th October 1780

Both signed their own names Thomas Warrannar
Philys Wilds

In the Presence of Wm Neilson?  Joseph Orange? or Grange?  Both witness signatures were tricky to read!

These witnesses are not on any other marriages for a few pages either side so they are likely to be known to the couple rather than just being the churchwarden...

Hope that helps in some way!

Hi Kaz,

The Witnesses might have been friends, but I haven't come across the names in any data relating to Thomas and Phillis which is a shame.
 
I still might not be 100% sure that the couple is my Gx3 Grandparents, but thanks to your kindness I have learned two extra snippets:-
That Thomas and Phillis DID definitely marry at St. Marys, and that both could write.

I FEEL it is the couple I'm wanting, but that tiny clue I need to make it fact is so elusive, and without that I cannot really claim this couple {though I can keep them on side ;-).

Thank you very much for looking them up for me, I really appreciate all your help.

Sincerely,
Jennyalogy

Hi I have just read through your messages And I think Thomas's father is my 5x greatgrand father. I have Thomas as being baptised 7th June 1759 at Kirbymoorside parish. If this matches please get in touch as I have some information on his mothers side of the family, but please give me a couple of weeks as I am going to Kirbymoorside next week for a hoilday, and I might just find out a bit more :-).
