The marriage of Ann Cooper
I had a convincing marriage for Ann Cooper to Henry Watson in Clerkenwell in 1799, but there is also this:
Name: Ann Cooper Gender: Female Marriage Date: 11 May 1795 Marriage Place: South Witham, Lincoln, England Spouse: John Watson FHL Film Number: 1450486 Does anyone have access to Lincolnshire marriages? To see whether this Ann is a spinster, of this parish, and who the witnesses are?

You should be able to find the image here:
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Marri...Id=315627&pt=T (not sure that link will work!) The witnesses are John Goodwin and Thomas Baker. I can't see the condition, but am supposed to be dishing up dinner, so perhaps you could look harder?!! lol

John was a widower and Ann was a spinster, both OTP, married by banns. Ann made her mark.

Thank you both!
This seems unlikely as a marriage as I don't recognise the witnesses and this Ann was illiterate. "Mine" signed her name on her second marriage and witnessed various legal documents, so I can't imagine she would tamely make her mark. This still feels the most likely marriage: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults but another researcher has claimed it as his own.

I don't think it gets me any further forward, but it looks as if the witness Geo Sutton is this man https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults
who died in Tash Street aged 53 in 1827 This is his marriage to Sarah Maria Dobinson in 1798, All Hallows, London Wall. He appears to be a labourer, from one of the post 1812 baptisms of his children.

I tried to use that Lincolnshire site to see if there were any burials for John or Ann Watson (to eliminate them), but I don't think I can be using the search correctly!
