Hello

Can someone please lookup the info from the following marriage please :

Richard Priory Bolton & Mary Baylis 2/1/1794 St Martin, Birmingham.

I would like to know if Richard is a bachelor or widower.

Thankyou.

richard priory bolton of this parish bachelor and mary baylis of this parish spinster married in this church by licence 2 jan 1794

they signed their names and the witnesses were jane corbett and jos (presumably joseph or james) rabone?
 
Hello Shera

Thank you for looking up this marriage for me.

This rules out this Richard Bolton being my ancestor. I will have to look for another Richard Bolton.

oh what a shame, i had found a couple of baptisms and burials from that family for you but now its no good. poor mary died by 1799. good luck in your search anyway :)
 
Hello Shera

Yes that is a shame as you could of helped me further with those records you found.

My 4x G Grandad was John Bolton baptised in 1790 St Phillips, Birmingham. He has one sibling on the IGI named James baptised in 1791. Their parents are Richard & Mary. I am thinking that the marriage between Richard Boulton & Mary Whitehouse 19/5/1788 Handsworth, Stafford are my couple. I was also thinking that Mary died and Richard married again as Richard Priory Bolton.

Hello Pomgolian

Thank you for your help.

I originally thought that Richard Boulton baptised in 1794 was a son of Richard Priory Bolton. I can see now that in this baptism Richard Boulton is given as his father and not Richard Priory Boulton.

Thanks.
