Gotta run, child woke, not abandoning, and thanks everyone,

Martha and William Gilbert married on the same day as Martha's sister, Louisa, they were witness for each other along with Thomas Clarke for both

Louisa (a minor) married John Brewer (full age).....labourer...Father..Henry Brewer

All lived in Verwood

Thats the one for Gilbert-definitely thanks, should have given you clue to area, but some times like the Moorcroft marriage this can be misleading and they marriage in different county etc

Have looked further at the Henry Norris/ Sarah Godfrey info I have and Sarah Godfrey is baptised in Windlesham, Surrey -so got to be there marriage, so she is not the Mother to my Henry Norris 1810 -back to the drawing board

But thank you so so much everyone, but especially Misty

Nothing would surprise me Misty, may be Sarah is not the Mother to the children I dont have the childrens baptisms to confirm Mother and children pre1837 so can not order birth certificate to confirm, only details from the cenus, and Sarah was born in Surrey so marriage in Surrey would connect -has thrown all I have in the air, but thats fine will go back to the drawing board

The only one I can see, 22yrs to late!!

From what website please did you find that info London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 as have a couple other marriages to find that I have both names, but cant find the marriages, but of course dont expect everyone else to do the work, if I can access it

Thanks

Fab Beverley that all links up

FMP has a record of Hannah Morecraft b. 1802, d. 1829 in Redbourne.

I was proving the births are all to the same man as the older children by first marriage are living with the younger children by the second marriage in cenus. But on baptisms of the children, Mother names different

This family has been difficult to follow, as they do seem to change the spelling of surname from one cenus to the next.

Yes will get birth certificate to confirm, but that marriage is looking perfect -but London I would never of found it thinking it was in Hertfordshire


Thank you so much

Eliza is baptised as Morecraft

Also an Ebenezer in 1834 as Moorcraft to John and Caroline

So a bit of confusion over spelling of surname

Looks like the Caroline Redd marriage might be right:

ADDED I thin the Ruds are actually Reed?
