We are looking for a William Spence marrying an Ann, preferably before 1829 and probably not more than five years before that.

Similar situation with possible cross parish indexes for burials.....We assume Ann Spence died between 1829 and 1837, but we don't know where and her age would likely be under 40 and possibly under 30 if she was buried at the beginning of that time frame.

Obviously these last two are completely needle-in-a-haystack jobs if there are no indexes and I suppose the chances of there being indexes are fairly slim!


Have we ruled out this marriage, then? From post #76:

If "Catton near York" means High Catton / Low Catton, then it is right near Stamford Bridge.
