JustKia's Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

Blimey ...talk about convoluted LOL 

so do you think Samuel was married 3 times? Samuel Wimbush = 1.Frances Watts = 2.Mary= 3.Betty

why can we not find his marriage to Betty Knight? Did the 2nd wife die or did he take up with Betty with 2nd wife somewhere else?

is Fanny (Frances) the daughter of Betty? Because if Frances didn’t die and Samuel took up with Betty it’s a strange choice of name (i.e. to call the daughter after his wife when he was with his mistress) maybe they couldn’t marry for some other reason …. Was Betty married previously? Did her husband die?  or was Martin illegitimate (I’m sure you said somewhere earlier) Was Betty old enough to Mary when she took up with Samuel did her parents approve if not ? like I say I’m sure you have probably asked yourself these questions anyway another thought have you looked for marriages for Betty (Elizabeth)  Knight / Night etc.
Whitehead that’s an interesting name to me

Whitehead that’s an interesting name to me

Toni and remember the Whiteheads were from Northamptonshire although from the eastern side of the county not the western side.

HI Jaywit, yes i do remember that which makes it an even more interesting name

Toni In this small cluster of villages almost everyone was related in some way. 
Two of the names Kia has come up with Bonham and Gardner are in my tree.

toni* - those posts aren't mine - I'm JustKia on there too =) but there are a couple of posts on Anc concerning this branch.

Fanny is daughter of Isaac W snr and Mary Ann Whitehead. Frances would have been Isaac's mother.

Betty was a "single woman" when M N Knight was baptised and 31 years old at the time.

Frances Watts was wife 1. Married 22 Jan 1824 Leamington Hastings.  I don't have a death for her.
Mary Wes(t)ley was wife 2. Married 24 Oct 1827 Wappenbury. I have a burial for her 11 Sep 1831 Wappenbury.
Betty was wife 3 (if it is the same Samuel). If they married is a ?? Betty died 1866 Q1 Manchester.

Off to the RO then swimming be back in a few hours =)

That's actually me  . That's how I learned a little about the descendants of Samuel, son of the Samuel who is the quarry of this hunt. I descend from Betty, daughter of Samuel.

Really quick stop off before I go swim...

Going to start with the bad news, couldn't see the baptism of John 1830 at Marton or Wappenbury.
Then the better but not great news - found baptism of Sophia 1828 in Wappenbury - Samuel's occ - labourer.
Baptism of Mary 1826 in Marton - Samuel's occ - labourer.
And the interesting news - baptism of Isaac 1824 in Marton - Samuel's occ - BUTCHER!!!

Maybe he was a butcher by trade but had to take a labourers job to make ends meet?

As a side note I'm defintely changing Mary Wes(t)ley to Wesley. She signed the marriage entry and her parents were the witnesses - all signed as Wesley.
