  • Boyds Marriage Index

    From Geoff@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 31 11:17:48 2024
    I don't normally ask for favours as I don't consider it fair to use
    other peolples resources but I have one ancestor that I cannot locate
    on Ancestry. He appears on Find my Past but as I am already paying a
    fortune for Ancestry, I can't afford to pay for FMP as well for just
    one look-up. If anyone can help, I would be truly grateful.

    Does anyone have access to Boyds Marriage Index?
    There is a record of an Andrew Hastings being married in 1678 but who
    was he married to and where in Norfolk did it take place. I cannot
    find it in any other source, neither can find any other access to Boyds Marriage Index online.

    Any information would be much appreciated.

    Boyd says "Andr Hastings and Margaret Tanton, 1678, Horning".

    HOWEVER, Horning is one of the Norfolk PRs also in FMP, and that is not
    what the register says. FMP has transcribed his surname as HAGTON, but I
    don't think that is right either. It might be Hastow or Hastons, but I
    am not sure about the first s.

    The entry says:
    "mar. Andrew Hastons[?] of Heigham Singleman and Margaret Taunton of
    Horning Single woman were maried Januar: 13 1678" [i.e. 1678/9]
    I wonder if what Boyd used was the Bishops Transcript rather than the
    register, and if that says "Hasings"? Particularly given the additional discrepancy in the spelling of the bride's name.

    Thank you for this. It is exactly what I needed. I have Hastings spelt
    various ways, including Hastons and Hastens, depending on the literacy
    of the parish vicar and sometimes the transcriber!! Heigham is quite
    close to Horning so that fits as well.

    Once again, Many thanks.
