Hi,
I have been researching for a few years but have never requested a lookup before. Apologies if I do this incorrectly.
There is a reference on familysearch Marriage Indexes to a marriage between James Poole and Ann Cooper on 28 Jul 1771 in Market Drayton. I cannot find a reference to parish. If they are the couple I hope they are, they were Anglican.
I would like to know any details the marriage may provide, especially parent names and witnesses.
Is it possible to obtain any of these details?
I am a little puzzled by this couple as my James Poole's family was in Caynham and as far as I can tell his wife Ann came from Shrewsbury. Why they would have married in Market Drayton is a mystery. However, James was in the military and may have been posted near her.
This is the only marriage of a James Poole and an Ann which fits my family, that I have found. The eldest known child (Mary Ann Poole) was born in September 1773 in Ludlow.
In case it helps:
James Poole born circa 1745 son of the Reverend Edward Poole (confirmed by Will)
Ann born circa 1747/1748 in Shropshire died 1833 in Leominster Herefordshire (confirmed by death record, newspaper announcement and grave inscription)
Known Children:
Mary Ann b 1773 Ludlow
Frances 1776 Ludlow
Jane 1781 Ludlow
James 1786 birthplace unknown
Caroline 1778 Mordiford, Herefordshire
I will greatly appreciate any information, advice and suggestions.
Irene
