Three relevant marriages:-

Joseph Hooson married Anne newton of Over Haddon 03.04.1727

Thomas Hooson married Elizabeth Crossland 12.06.1688

Charles HOWSON married Elizabeth Bennett 28.04.1662...........this might be a HOOSON misspell..but its possibly a bit early..but possibly worth bearing in mind since there is no marriage for Charles HOOSON at Bakewell.

If you don't know the area, the Bakewell is surrounded by a plethora of small villages..most of which i have the records for..........my own family came from the same area.....

This is all most intriguing!! Thank you for the info.
Yes, I do know the area as I went to Thornbridge (Between Ashford and Gt.Longstone) when it was a teacher training college and since then (I left in 1969) my husband and I, along with our daughter when she was still at home, have taken holidays in the area whenever we could. We love the area so much - especially the Monsal, Ashford, Gt. Longstone triangle, plus Chatsworth and Edensor, of course - and when we realised we had ancestral links with the area our feelings just seemed to sort of 'click' into place!
I envy you living there, although mid Wales is also stunning! (I'm half Welsh...not as easy to research!)
