Wiltshire Parish Records
My ancestor John Horne lost his wife Mary in 1738/9, just after the birth of their son John. Mary was buried in South Newton, Wilts.
John's next known child, Mary, was bp in South Newton 13 March 1742/3. Mary's mother is Anne. They had another three children: another John 1745 Robert 1748 Nehemiah (not a known family name) 1751 So, if a marriage took place, it was some time between 1739 and 1742. And there is a marriage that fits the bill: John Horn m Ann Miller 28 Jun 1739 Orcheston St Mary, Wiltshire, England Unfortunately, this is a transcript. I cannot find the register on Ancestry. Nor can I find any information about the parish registers. It would make perfect sense that John, with an unweaned child on his hands, remarries very quickly. However, I would like to see the proof. Genuki is no help, and Wiltshire & Swindon Archives only mention Orcheston St George. Can anyone suggest where the records might be? It seems unlikely that they would still be held in the parish.
