Call me a male chauvinist if you must but if William is 53, then Ann at 70 is more likely to be his mother rather than his wife.

Thank you Rob, but yes I had discounted this one as he made a mark and elsewhere he signed documents with a firm hand. Interestingly his marriage to Elizabeth only lasted about 6 months before she died.

findmypast and ancestry have a marriage of William SAUNDERS to Ann SIMMONS on 10 Oct 1830 at Temple, Bristol

Sarah Simmons was a witness - does not mention William's marital state

Have you discounted this one?

I have now found the death of Elizabeth SAUNDERS, wife of William, in Dec 1828 but now need the marriage of William SAUNDERS to an Ann.  Who was Ann?

The next three workshops are now on the website and are as follows

25th September: Name and Place: a presentation by Paul Carter

23rd October: FACHRS: An introduction to the Family and Community Historical Research Society by Brita Wood

27th November: How our Ancestors Died: a presentation by Peter de Dulin

The Hutton Show was a great success, as usual - the weather was glorious.  Many people came to look at the photos and information on our display boards and several went away with our membership forms and Society information - let's hope they join.

I've been busy this past month using the new PRO Tools that Ancestry introduced in June.  Mainly, I was using the Tree Checker component - looking at suggested inconsistencies and possible duplications in my tree.  I have also been using the Enhanced Shared Matches section - which, when comparing your DNA with a match's DNA, shows how your match connects with your mutual shared matches: this feature enables you to also add their sibling/niece/parent to your tree.

The amount of rationed food available for one person per week is what many people eat in a day - or even a meal - these days!!

Thanks, Pat
