    Default Thomas & Jane Witherall

    Whilst looking at my Witherall branch of the family tree, I noticed that my 4 x great grandfather states his birth as being in 1821 / 1822 at Beedon on the 1861 & 1871 censuses, then from 1881 he states his birth as being in 1819 / 1821 / 1822 at Chieveley, which is a short distance from Beedon.

    I have given a baptism record from the IGI for a Thomas Wetheral who was born to a Hannah Wetheral on 1st july 1821 at Beedon.

    Working on this, I have found on the IGI, a Hannah Wetherell who was born on 13 April 1797 at Beedon to Thomas & Jane Wetherell.

    Now I have found other children born to Thomas & Jane Witherell / Wetherell:

    2. RACHAEL WITHERELL - International Genealogical Index
    Gender: Female Christening: 21 NOV 1790 Beedon, Berkshire, England

    HANNA WETHERELL - International Genealogical Index
    Gender: Female Christening: 23 APR 1797 Beedon, Berkshire, England

    NAOMI WETHERELL - International Genealogical Index
    Gender: Female Christening: 20 MAR 1800 Beedon, Berkshire, England

    RICHARD WETHERELL - International Genealogical Index
    Gender: Male Christening: JUL 1788 Beedon, Berkshire, England

    But can only find one wedding between a Thomas Witherell and a Jane and that took place in Nortumberland:

    THOMAS WEATHERALL
    Male
    Marriages:
    Spouse: JANE PELLINGTON
    Marriage: 07 DEC 1802 Christ Church, Tynemouth, Northumberland, England

    Now my concern is that this isn't the right couple for two reasons:

    1. It's almost the other end of the country to where the children were born.

    2. It's after the birth of the last child.

    Quite. I wouldn't spend too much time on that one

    Have you tried the Berkshire Marriage Index (Google, if necessary)

    I haven't tried that yet, Peter as I wasn't aware of it.

    Nothing comes up when I search.

    Am now looking for a marriage between a John Witherell & an Ann sometime between 1765 and 1768 as their first child appears to have been born in 1769.

    I found a birth on 12th August 1870 at Marcham, Berkshire for Thomas Witherall to parents John Witherall & Ann, Marcham isn't far away from Chieveley and Beedon.

    Jane Dennis appears to have been born on 19th June 1763 at Chieveley to parents William Dennis & Rachael.
