Default John Llewellin's marriage

I am trying to find the marriage of Ann Cooper - born 1775, Holmes Fen, Cambridge - to John Llewellin, of whom I know no more than that he was dead by 1817, by which time Ann was a widow in Camberwell.

In 1851, Ann was visiting relations in Norfolk, but in 1841 she was a female servant to Ann Powell of 8 Queens Row, Grove Lane, Camberwell.

I drew a bow at venture, and looked at Ann Powell's PCC will

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...nSearchResults

She left Ann Llewellin £300. She was probably lucky not to get the case of stuffed birds and the papier mache table! As AP also mentioned a sister Sarah Bates Powell, I checked her will - in case the Powells and Llewellins are related.

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_311448-00814

No legacies this time, but in 1826 Ann Lewellin was already living at 8 Grove Row, and witnessed the will, together with Mary Ann Bagerley (AL's neice, living at No 3)

Even more exciting is the will of Mary Powell:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/interacti...1_310468-00239

She also leaves a legacy to Ann Llewellin OTHERWISE WATSON. She mentions Sarah Cooper (another of AL's neices) and her will is witnessed by Susannah Bagerley of No 3 (a third neice)

So *draws in a huge breath*

Can anyone spot Ann Llewellin nee Cooper's marriage? Or do you reckon she married a Watson?

Just to add that Mary Powell's will was signed on the 26 Sep 1832 in case we need that date.

I wonder whether there was nothing sinister in the alias, just giving a servant a name she liked?

Oh my memory, my memory.

For the record,(from the other thread) the Hughes girls are her neices, Mary Ann Bagerley's daughters.

There is a John Lewellin / Ann Pugh marriage 1799 Westminster which comes up on FMP but I haven't got a sub to check the image and see whether she was a widow or not. It is on Pallot's Marriage Index on ancestry but doesn't say widow or spinster on there.

I've checked the image, and they were both OTP, married by banns, marital status not given.
Witnesses John Buffin and Ann Colcraft.

They both sign their names, no status given, but the witnesses are John Buffin and Ann Calcraft. Given her track record, I feel fairly sure Ann would have picked family members.
