Hi

FMP have the following marriages:

Harriet Cook+Samuel Smart Kintbury Berkshire 26/1/1813
William Lawrence+ Eliza Jacobs Kintbury Berkshire 12/3/1836

I suspect that William Lawrence and Harriet Cook were both widowed when they married their partners. Please can someone take a quick look and see if there is anything to confim this?

TIA
Tiggit

William was born c1791, not in Berkshire, according to 1841 census

Oldest child in 1841 was born after the 1836 marriage

Also on 1841, Mary Jacobs, born c1771 - presumably Eliza’s mother
