Do you have her parish and the witnesses' names from her marriage, Glen?

[Oakum Picker]

Hi Kate,

The marriage entry shows William is of Hitchin & Mary is otp. He makes his mark & she signs. The witnesses were William WRIGHT & Ann HIDE who appear to marry in Stanstead Abbotts the following year. Again he marks & she signs.

I cannot connect the 2 HIDEs although William does have a sister Nancy of whom I know nothing.

I won't say any thing else as I don't want to lead.

Nancy was a variation of the name Ann, so they could well be the same person.
