I am looking at the marriage entry for a couple on Lincs to the Past. It is fourth entry from the bottom on the left-hand side. A someone Holmes to a widow.

I won't say what I think or hope it says because I don't want to influence anyone!

[Phoenix]

Is his name Braham - as in Abraham?

[Phoenix]

I assume she is of Billingham, rather than that being a surname? If so, her Christian name looks like Susan, but I can't begin to guess at the surname.

[Merry]

Is his name Abraham with the first letter missing? A miller. And her name Susannah?? something beginning with Da?

Many thanks.

I think it is Abraham Holmes of Tattershall Miller and Susanna Dawson of Billingham Widdow.


FMP have this:

Day: 7
Month: Nov
Year: 1705
Groom Forename(s): Abraham
Groom Surname: Holmes
Bride Forename(s): Susannah
Bride Surname: Dawson
Parish: Kirkby on Bain
Deanery: Horncastle
County: Lincolnshire
Notes: AH Tattershall. SD widowed.
Record source: Lincolnshire Marriage Index

Susanna's husband Richard Dawson was only buried in August the same year at Billinghay so she didn't waste any time. He was a miller too.

Now I wonder where they lived after the marriage.

By the way, Family Search have Abraham transcribed as William.
