William Wallis and Mary Evans

[azurich]

  Am looking for information regarding the marriage of William Wallis Born about 1762 Bisley Gloucestershire, to 1769 Winchcombe Gloucestershire.
William Married Mary Evans on 9 July 1791 as far as i can remember, Mary was from Avening i think they may have married in minchinhampton but i do have to check.
Children of this marriage i probably have correct as William Wallis 1791 Minchinhampton, Edward Wallis 1793 Minchinhampton and probably but not sure Mary Wallis 1798 Gloucester Westgate area postcode now would be gl1 2pg.

Any Help on the Above of William and Mary would be very helpful thanks.

Hi,
The Gloucestershire Family History Society (GFHS) Marriage Index, 1754-1799, only lists the following William WALLIS' marriages:-
William WALLIS married Sarah WINSTON at All Saints, Bisley, 9th January 1787.
William WALLIS, Widower, married Mary BERRYMAN at All Saints, Bisley, 20th November 1799, by Licence
I know that these are not the dates that you are interested in, but I thought they may be relevant.
I will check the Bisley PRs on my next visit to Glos Archives (GA) to see if I can find anymore data and get back to you.

Hi Victor,

I was aware that the William Wallis that i am mentioning married Sarah Winston and Marry Berryman but on this web site http://www.glosgen.co.uk/records/minchmarr7.htm you have a William Wallis married to Mary Evans the date is William Wallis & Mary Evans 1 Mar.  1791.
This transcription is taken from Volume 11 of Gloucestershire Parish Registers - Marriages, edited by W.P.W. Phillimore, M.A., B.C.L., and published in 1905 by Phillimore & Co.

From this the children i mention are likely to have happened, the William i am looking for is probably between 1762-1769 and Bisley is likely as so is Winchcombe.
As William married in 1787 and 1799 is it possible he was also married in 1791 or do you think it is just another William Wallis i should be looking at now?
The Mary i have is born about 1766 Avening glos, so the marriage date would tie in well in 1791 she would be about 25 years old.
I think i shall check for death records of Sarah and Mary Wallis about these 3 event dates of about 1787-1790, 1791-1798 for further answers.   

Thanks Victor it would be very interesting if you find anything more.

Hi,

Source: Glos Archives (GA) PFC 217 IN 1/9 5, Minchinhampton Banns/Marriages:-
Banns of Marriage between William WALLIS and Mary EVANS, both of this parish, were published on Sundays, February 13th, 20th & 27th, 1791.
William WALLIS, of this parish, and Mary EVANS, of this parish, were married in this Church by Banns this first day of March, 1791, by me Robert Douglas, Curate.
This marriage was solemnized between us, the mark ‘X’ of William WALLIS and the mark ‘X’ of Mary EVANS, in the presence of John CASEY and Samuel HUNE(?), who also witnesses the adjoining marriage, probably a member of the church hierarchy.

Victor,

Thanks for doing this checking at least i now know that the Mary Evans i have from 1766 is not the  same Mary from 1761 Avening who married William Wallis.
Although it was a long shot i do not have a match in this instance, however i do not know of John Evans and Mary from Avening but would think that at some point i could find a relationship.
Mary parents i have are Robert and Dinah likely from Bitton but were living in Avening by 1759.

At least it looks like William married 3 times in the time scales that were already mentioned.

Thanks again
Azurich
