Marriage - Weston under Penyard 1596 (General)

by sian, Monday, November 19, 2007, 06:57 (6216 days ago)

I have found on the IGI the marriage of 2 of my ancestors at Weston under Penyard on 3 March 1596 and have looked on here to confirm it. The site tells me that all mariages for this period have been transcribed, but I can't find a marriage between John Hodges and Ane Warre. I have a copy of his will and he definitely married an Anne.

John Hodges was from Dymock and they lived there after their marriage. Can anyone else confirm or deny this entry. I realise that the IGI isn't always 100% accurate.

I think the records for WuP on this site only go back to 1671 (so far)

for what its worth this one looks reasonable

Thanks slowhands. Yes that was the reference that I had already found. I'd misread the available records on this site - looks like I'll have to wait a little longer to confirm her details. Can't find her anywhere else!

Happy hunting

The database actually says the records have been filmed and are available for transcription. I have had a look, but although reasonably clear they are in a hand which is difficult to read. If there is anyone out there skilled at reading 16th Century writing and would be willing to have a go at this register give me a call.
