Wedding register for 1813, Gosport

[Taiwan]

Looking for marriage details on register for Gosport of John DILLON and Caroline SLADE married 3 Oct. 1813.
Hoping that there may be a witnesses or some other details listed. Still not sure why this couple married there when he is from Wickham. May be where she was from but haven't found out anything about her family yet.

Thanks for any help.

The marriage took place at Holy Trinity, Gosport, Hampshire. Batch number - M07356-4, Film number - 918897.
The record can be viewed at a Family Search Center.

There are five in Taiwan but not knowing the country I don't know if they are anywhere near you.

If not, perhaps you know someone in another country who would be able to order the record and view it for you.

You obviously have the census for John and Caroline, she says born Bishops Waltham in abt 1796.
I cannot see a birth for her there. There is one about the right time of a Caroline Preston, daughter of Sarah christened 21 May 1794. Again you could order it in at a Family Search Centre.

I wonder if Sarah went on to marry a Mr. Slade or if Caroline made that up which is why they married out of their own parishes.
However, I suspect you have already been down these roads.

I found this the other day as an alternative to visiting a Family History Centre.

Thank you for all the help on my first BG posts. I will have to leave these exciting possibilities for a few weeks but hope to get back to this soon. My genealogical research tends to go in bursts around my work.

The census and gravestone gives a whole range of ages for Caroline ?Slade ranging from 1793-6.

Here they are:

Caroline died 28 June 1869 and buried on 1 July, Wickham (death certificate says 82 years giving a birth of c. 1787 -quite different to census).


Possibly another child –Ellen Frances12 Aug, 1863 later married George

Edmunds in 1882 on Portsea island and had 10 children.


Burials in St Nicholas, Wickham's graveyard: (from direct enquiry to church

17/6/2010)

John Dillon snr buried 2 July, 1863 aged 76 (b. c1787)

Caroline Dillon buried 1 July 1869 aged 76 (note a different age again! So born c. 1793)

1Information about Charles comes from a descendent's info. On Genforum.

If Caroline wasn't SLADE but Preston - then is there a SLADE of the right age around Bishop's Waltham? who might have been her father?

Some of these things very hard to work out.

John and Caroline had another son, John DILLON born c 1818 and chr 23 July 1818 in North Stoneham/Wickham. He married an Emma (almost certainly Brown) although we've found no record of a marriage.

They had these children:
