[Ledge]

Hello... Welcome to Rootschat 

There is this marriage:
St Michael the Archangel - West Retford - 25th Feb 1745
John LEDGER & Hannah BAILEY


You might get more help if this post was on the Nottinghamshire board.... maybe one of the Mods will move it for you


Regards

Sheila.

Hi Sheila,

Do you have a link to this source?

I googled Nottinghamshire Family History and didnt know what to do on that Society website, if that's where it is...

You may be right that Thomas married twice;
1771 to Sarah BROWN and 1777 to Ann PEARSON, entry on FreeREG does not state if he was Widowed though on 1777 Marriage.

Do you know where Thomas/Sarah were living post 1771?

There is a Burial of a SARAH Ledger, Wife of THOS, 01 Nov 1774, St Peter, Headon-cum-Upton
Abode, Gainesbrough
A LUCY Ledger was Buried 28 July 1774, Daug of THOS/SARAH, same abode

+  a BETTY Ledger, Daug of THOMAS/ANN was Buried St Swithin, East Retford, 22 March 1778

LUCY Baptised St Swithins 17 Dec 1771 to THOMAS/SARAH
BETTY Baptised same Church 23 Feb 1778 to THOMAS/ANN

So looks likely that Thomas Married Sarah and Ann to me.

I only have christening records for Thomas and his close family. All other info on this thread, such is burials and wife's maiden names is new and exciting to me!

I've updated my tree with all of this info and found more records too - freeREG is great.

I still haven't found any birth records for John Ledger who married Hannah Bailey 1745 though.
