Bride's surname 1680 marriage
« on: Tuesday 12 August 25 11:10 BST (UK) »
Hoping someone can help with identifying the bride's surname from the top marriage in 1680 from Wrentham in Suffolk.

Fleetwood WOTTON & Elizabeth ?? were married ?? 15, 1680.

Ancestry has the groom as Cheetwood, but it should be Fleetwood. They have the bride's surname as CRASHFIELD, but I'm not so sure.

He died in Redenhall, Norfolk in 1720. His wife Hannah died there in 1713/14, so the above Elizabeth must have died before then as well. Haven't found anything on that as yet.

Thanks

I see Crashfield spelled Crashfeild.
Mead - Herts, Bucks, Essex
Pontifex - Bucks
Goldhurst - London, Middx, Herts

I see it as Crashfeild too.  Do you have a particular reason to think that it isn't Crashfeild/Crashfeild?

Elizabeth wife of Fleetwood Wooton was buried at Redenhall 26 August 1681, their son William having been baptised there on 10 May.

Thanks everyone.

I think it must be CRASHFEILD now as looking through the Redenhall PRs there was a Thomas CRASHFEILD baptising children in the 1680s there.

Now to find what his second wife Hannah's surname was.

Thanks

FindMyPast has a marriage licence 22 Apr 1714 for a Fleetwood Wootton of Redenhall, widower. Mary Stanard named as bride.

Married same day.

Thanks, I did find that one as well. Looks like she was the third wife.

Hannah would appear to be the second.

Mary married again herself in 1721 after Fleetwood died.

Snipped from Vol 3 of Blomefield and Parkin's "An essay towards a topographical history of the County of Norfolk; ..."

The marriage licence refers to Fleetwood as " ... 58 years and upwards ..."
