Thanks very much, Jill. Perhaps she was buried with her first husband as he was interred there about 20 years earlier.

Do you have the names of the witnesses from her marriages, particularly the first one?

I got the first marriage from a CD of PR transcripts sold by the Oxon FHS. Sadly, there are no details of any marriage witnesses for the time period in question.

The witnesses to the second marriage are Thomas and Rebecca Allaway. Rebecca was Rose Hannah's daughter and Thomas was Rebecca's husband.

Oooh, I've just found that all the marriages are listed twice on the CD! The first time they give all the info except the witnesses and the second time all the same info again, with the witnesses!

So, they are Richard Titcomb(e) and James Swain. James Swain is a serial witness.

This is the only ref to anyone called Titcomb(e) in the whole of the Caversham PRs up to 1890 (I just checked all the indexes)

Hmm, there aren't many Richard Titcomb(e)s around, but on the 1851 census there is one in Reading who is age 66 born Cholsey Berks, with a wife Jane also 66 born Oxon Binfield. And Wikipedia says there is a village called Binfield Heath in the civil parish of Shiplake! Do you think Jane could be Rose Hannah's sister?

(Edit - if you want to find those Titcombs in 1841 ancestry has them as Witcomb.)

Bother, I found their marriage on the pilot site and she was Jane Sexton and they got married in 1814, years after Rose Hannah's wedding, anyway!

Thanks for trying Kate. It's really annoying when you feel certain something is going to turn out to be connected, but it doesn't!
