Hi,
Looking up marriages for Joseph Hingley and Mary, have come across these below possible marriages for Joseph and Mary: -
Name: Joseph Insley
Marriage Date: 22/01/1737 (22 Jan 1737)
Marriage Place: Rowley Regis Staffordshire England
Spouse: Mary Hadley (b: 1710)
This would mean their eldest child, Esther was born out of wedlock in 1733.
But most of the other Trees have Joseph Insley married to a Mary Downing and looking up marriages under Mary Downing, I have come across these below marriages: -
Name: Mary Ann Downing
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 8 Apr 1827
Marriage Place: Rowley Regis, Stafford, England
Spouse: William Green
FHL Film Number: 350577
Reference ID: 330
but with a different spouse: William Green not Joseph Insley/Hingley/Ingley
and:-
Name: Mary Downing
Gender: Female
Marriage Date: 23 Feb 1742
Marriage place: Halesowen,Worcester,England
Spouse: Joseph Hunt
FHL Film Number: 0599888 IT 4, 886632, 886633, 886634, 886635, 886636, 886637, 886638
but the date of their marriage is rather late, bearing in mind the eldest child, Esther was born in 1733. Also her spouse: Joseph is down as Joseph Hunt instead of Insley.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
