Looking for first wife

[JenCowling]

I looked up Pateley Bridge Old Parish records several years ago (on microfilm in Northallerton). For Thomas & Anne's marriage it does not help much:
Widower & Spinster both of this parish. Witnesses John & Jane Swainston
I have not found a record of the first marriage for Thomas yet... Although they seem to have had a son William b. 1780 and died 1790.
Hope this helps, Jenny

I am still wading through the many hints I still have for my ancestry tree.  There are thousands!

Thanks for the information.

I also have a public tree on ancestry called Descendants of Johannis Cowling, in which I tried to come forward on all lines from Johannis (John) Cowling who married Elizabeth Taylor in 1708, I believe most of the Cowlings from Pateley Bridge are descended from them. I can't guarantee everything is 100% correct, if you do find any errors please let me know. I hope one day all will tie up!!
Hope this helps,
Kind regards, Jenny

I found you on Facebook a while back and sent a friends request.  Did you see it?

Sorry, I hardly ever go on facebook these days - too many adverts! I prefer to just email.
