Samuel Greenway and Alice Keeling

[CarolineWebb]

FindMyPast has an image of a marriage  licence. Bit faint and difficult to read. Samuel Greenway of Whitacre and Alice Keeling of Kingsbury. It looks like the marriage could take place in either place. I think the date is 9th May although FindMyPast transcribes it as 3rd may

Unfortunately I'm not a member of Find My Past so can't see those images but thank you for the info :-)

The Greenways look quite well off, judging by the will left when  Samuel died in 1732,

Was this on Ancestry or FindMyPast?

Quote;
Yes, I think they were probably living in Halloughton Hall.

From memory one of the bapts has abode as Halloughton

oh wow, a lot to unpack here! I already had Alice's burial, but didn't think about him remarrying. Certainly looks that way! I have found all the children listed above in the Kingsbury register. There is also a daughter Mary baptised with father Samuel but no mother listed (presuming Barbara before they were married maybe?) I haven't yet found Sam and Barbara's marriage though.
Then I found another baptism - not quite sure how to interpret this one?... Think Samuel was a busy man!
