Mary Eunice Williams

[ElizabethHerts]

How did you link Mary Williams from your other thread to Mary/Eunice Williams, Jill?

You still don't have the baptism from 1788 and the mother on that thread.

Thanks, Elizabeth. So:
Banns of Marriage, Between Thomas Barker and Mary Williams were published 18th and 25th of September, and on the 2d of Oct 1796 by me, Peter Wilson, curate. The said Thomas Barker of this Parish, Laborer, and Mary Williams, of this Parish, Singlewoman, were Married in this Church by Banns 3rd Nov 1796 by me Peter Wilson, Curate.

Thomas Barker signed his name and Mary Williams made her mark. Witnesses Jane Footitt and Thomas Stow.

So this is the marriage of Mary, the daughter:

Baptism 11 Dec 1797 - Nancy, Daughter of Thomas and Eunice Barker. Mary written, crossed out, and Eunice written in.

Burial Jan 21 1801 also at Gate Burton - Anne, Daughter of Mary Barker, widow, of Gainsbrough. (FamilySearch says this is the same person as Nancy above but I think this is just an assumption on the part of the indexer.)

Not sure whether this is the same family or not. Nancy was often used as a variant of Ann(e).

Then there is another Thomas Barker burial 4 Feb 1802. And Mary Barker, widow, of Gainsbrough, buried 5 Jan 1804, so if the burial that Elizabeth has found is your Mary / Eunice, the Gainsborough Mary is a different person.

My eyes couldn't read the occupation, Kate.

FamilySearch has a baptism for a Robert Barker at All Saints, Gainsborough, 10 Nov 1790, son of Mary Barker, but I can't find the PR on Lincs to the Past to check whether this Mary is a widow. (Just trying to prove that FamilySearch are wrong to tie up Nancy Barker baptised in Gate Burton with Anne Barker from Gainsborough who was buried at Gate Burton.)

Thankyou both for your input, I am very grateful and I will take a proper look in the morning when I am less tired.

Thankyou, I had only seen it on Familysearch and didn't know Lincs to the past had it (I find the site very awkward to use)

Sorry, somewhat behind with my homework there, I had it on my laptop but hadn't amended the entry here. After JayG had found the burial of her daughter Mary Williams that gave me a dob of c1788, and as Gate Burton is very close to Glentworth I felt it likely that Mary/Eunice in 1788 was the appropriate one.
