Marriages/Partnerships
Mary Barker |
Also known as
Richard Mattocks |
Did You Know?
- I haven't been able to find a burial for William Ilkince, who was stated to be deceased in a bond of October 1736, nor for Richard Mattox (which would make me more confident that the Mary Mattock who married John Newman in 1738 was Mary Barker). In fact, there don't seem to be any burials recorded in the Westbury parish register between the wife of Joseph Banks on 24th March 1734/5 and John Matravers on 10th May 1737.
- I can't find a marriage corresponding to the marriage licence of Richard Mattox to Mary Barker dated 12th June 1735, but I can't find any marriages recorded in the Westbury parish register between John Sarlam and Deborah Harman on 1st May 1735 (tucked at the bottom of the births page) and Rob:t Clasey and Mary Long on 10th May 1737.
