I have a query relating to Mary Sandford .I believe she married a Thomas Oldham in 1760 and he died in 1764

She married a Richard Slade in 1766
She married John Burley/Burlow in 1776.
I cannot find a burial date for Richard Slade.

Can you help?

Are you sure about the 1776 marriage? I ask because her name should be listed as Mary Slade, not Sandford, as a widow. For the 1776 marriage at Newent it shows the groom's surname as BURLEIGH.

'I cannot find a burial date for Richard Slade.'

NBI has the following for the burial of Richard Slade between 1766 and 1776:-

31/7/1772 Blessed Virgin Mary, Abbas Combe, Somerset
1/11/1774 St James, Southbroom [nr Devizes], Wiltshire
22/10/1774 St Nicholas, West Pennard, Somerset
29/1/1775 St Mary, St Neots, Huntingdonshire

The reason I asked the question was as a widow when she married Jonn Burleigh/Burlow she must have had another Husband prior to John Burleigh,so when I checked on the parish records I came across a Thomas Oldham who I think she married in 1760 and had a son called Thomas in 1763 but died in 1764.Then I found Thomas Oldham died in 1764. She then Married Richard Slade in 1766 and had a son called richard in 1771.This is where I found the problem of no death records for Richard Slade before she could marry John Burleigh in 1776.
Have I got the wrong Mary Sandford ?

I'm curious to find out why the move from Ledbury to Somerset etc?
