If its any comfort Fuzz, I have several parish records where, yep, the groom is shown as a widower - sometimes both groom and bride shown as widows. So good luck

Fuzzy It depends! Sorry! It depends how meticulous the Vicar was in writing up his records. It depends whether the groom mentioned that he was a widower. I have a second marriage of someone who was born, bred and died in the same village. He has an unusual first name and I found his first marriage and the death of this wife. But at his second marriage he is recorded as a bachelor. Both wives are mentioned on his gravestone. OC

Hi Fuzzy, I don't know if they all do but I definately have one from that era that states the groom is a widower. Sam x
