Elizabeth Marshall which marriage is hers?

[Ruthie]

My greatx3 Grand Mother was Mararet Marshall born 1789 in Hemingby to Mark Marshall and Sarah Blades.

Her brothers and sisters were all born in Hemingby

Mark 24-10-1784....(died 1814 in Hemingby unmarried ?)
Henry 21-5--1786....(died 1827 buried inHemingby unmarried ?)
Elizabeth 7-10-1794 ...(died ?)
Elizabeth 23-5-1797
Mary 21-10-1798 married Geroge Leak 1820 or 1819...died November 1820


Now I have 2 possible marriages for ELizabeth.

1......11th June 1816 to John White of Swanby, Batchelor to Elizabeth Marshall spinster of this parish...Banns
Signed John White, Elizabeth Marshall X.........Witnesses Thomas Wright......ELizabeth Marshall, Charles Johnson (Charles Johnson I think was a warden or something...his name appears as witness to many marriages)

2....14th October 1819 David Richardson of Belchford, Batchelor to Elizabeth Marshall of this parish...spinster. By banns
Both made X Witness Mary Rhoudes.


Which one do you think is my ELizabeth?

David and Elizabeth Richardson had a son Henry baptised at Hemingby 23 Jan 1820. Which doesn't really help, sorry! I can't find any of them on the censuses except a possible for David Richardson at Belchford in 1841 but he is with a Rebecca, not an Elizabeth.

I found those too.

I think I can rule out the marriage to John White as mine........the ages just don't match.

And when I look at Lincolnshire and Fenland families there is an ELizabeth Marshall born in Hemingby 1789 to David Marshall and Elizabeth Pixon which makes more sense that the John White marriage is to that particular Elizabeth.

The age of the Elizabeth Marshall married to David Richardson doesn't match my Elizabeth Marshall.......but I haven't been able to find another Elizabeth Marshall that it could be.

Thank you for looking.

I suppose you could check the burial registers for an Elizabeth with surname White or Richardson and see what age she was to see if it tallies.

Or a burial for your Elizabeth Marshall dying unmarried.

Or a second marriage for a possibly widowed Elizabeth White or Richardson...
