Hi everyone, can anyone help please. My 3 x great grandparents wereWilliam Wingfield (later became Winfield) and Mary Golding (widow) who married in Rickmansworth Herts in May 1807. What I need to know is Mary's maiden name, she would only have been married a few years before being widowed. Does anyone have a Golding marriage or death around this time or place. Many thanks for any help you can give me. Regards Mike |

Hi Mike - On IGI I put in an search for marriages for Golding in Hertfordshire and then checked the entry for each male married before 1807 to check the name of the spouse and only came up with one that might fit: George Gooldin married Mary Bigg 23.12.1804 in Hatfield. Might be worth looking into. Magsx |

Hi Mags thanks for looking. I hve already found George & Mary, Mary Biggs was a Widow when she married George so I think she may have been too old as William and Mary were having children up to 1829. Mike |

It might be worth looking at Mary's marriage to Mr BIGG and then for his death. She could have been say 18 or 20 when she married him and still be able to have children in late 1820s. Perhaps not likely but family history is full of surprises. |

Hi Marion. Mary was a widow in 1804 when she married George so I think she would have been a little older than 21. Mike |

If her first husband had been a soldier... There was plenty of action going on around that time - specifically Napoleonic Wars of one kind or another. In such circs it's, sadly, very possible to be widowed very young. And there have always been farming/industrial accidents, and epidemics, and fights, and... Christine |
