I've checked the National Burial Index but nothing.

Thanks for looking, Margaret!

[Merry]

Are you sure his wife was Hannah OWEN? (or did she have more than one possible surname?)

Owen Hannah Winslow 6 777 <<<
Smith Eliza Winslow 6 777
Tims Elisha Winslow 6 777 <<<

I'm doing this from memory, Merry, as it's best mate's tree, but I think we got the cert & managed to follow Hannah a bit further.


Why do you think it wasn't Owen?

[Merry]

Oh lol! Because I saw this one:

Marriages Mar 1842
Colton Sarah Winslow 6 493
FRENCH Hannah Winslow 6 493
HORWOOD James Winslow 6 493
ILLING George Winslow 6 493
KEYS John Winslow 6 493
PITTAM Hannah Winslow 6 493
REED Keziah Winslow 6 493
STOCKWELL Martha Wycombe 6 493
TIMBS Elisha Winslow 6 493 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Maybe he married twice and the first wife may not have even been a Hannah!

[Phoenix]

Good old phonetic spelling. Timbs and Timms are under separate listings.

It looks as if his first wife was Sarah Colton, who died with her baby in Dec 1844.

I'll have to check to see whether Ros has the cert for this!

Thank you, Merry!!
