Layton - Davison marriage 1758
« on: Wednesday 05 November 25 17:58 GMT (UK) »


William Layton, bachelor, married Frances Davison, spinster, at St Andrews, Holborn, Middlesex on 13 November 1758.  That's all I know from Ancestry - no age, parents, witnesses or home parishes.  If anyone can find something for me to work with I would be very grateful.  I know nothing about either but am hoping they will provide something useful for my Davison brickwall. 

Thank you very much in anticipation.

Davison - London
South - London, Hampshire
Sharp(e) - Hertfordshire, Suffolk
Lee - Ireland, London
Edwards - Wiltshire, London
Bickers - London, Norfolk, Suffolk
Murray - London

A marriage in 1758 would not show parents names - todays certs only show fathers name & only from 1.7.1837

Are you viewing the original entry or a transcription?  If the original one then "what you see is what you get"

Have you looked on Family Search?

It's def WYSIWYG for this transcription, no option to see the original, unusual for Ancestry. They frequently have London registers but not for this.  Ancestry didn't come up with anything useful for either person but I hope one of the other sites can help  ;D
