Here's John Wolverson on BCC but I have his 1st marriage (extracted) as 1826 and Edwin was born 1820 ...here

I wonder if he had been married before cos he would have been age 33 at the time of the extracted marriage?

Edwin WOLVERSON and Mary Ray WOLVERSON were witnesses at John's 2nd marriage

Hang on! I've found the answer (I think).......

What relationship do you think Mary Ray Wolverson (witness) and Mary Ray (Spouse) were? Surely Edwin (1820) would have been too young to be witness in 1826?

Thanks Mallosa -- term has started and my brain is going to mush all ready -- that would make the witnesses his children from earlier marriage(s) then.

Exactly!

Edwin married in 1841 so would have left home

A Baptism for Edwin would help to give mother's name hopefully

1st Marriage

That all looks good to me Mally -- well done

There's nothing to tell us on IGI, if a person has been married previously is there?

If we could find deaths for both of these, that would confirm it

1st wife
MARY WOOLVERSON

2nd wife?
MARY ANN WOLVERSON

What do you need on this Mally

if you need look up on marriage that will tell us if married prev

This is the one that would confirm if we're correct, can it be looked up?
