Hi,

FMP have the following two marriages for a John Wheeler in Greenham Berkshire

John Wheeler + Ann Bird in 1811

John Wheeler + Ann Bind in 1812

the familysearch website only has the marriage for John Wheeler and Ann Bind on the 20th October 1812 so I was wondering if the two marriages were for the same couple recorded twice, being unsure of the spelling of the brides name but with a typing error in the year of marriage so would be grateful if someone would take a quick look and see if the date for the marriage of John Wheeler and Ann Bird is recorded as 20th October.

TIA

BOTH transcriptions are on FMP

I would think it unlikely that there were two marriages

A trip to the Records Office is probably the only way to resolve the query accurately

Nothing coming up for a John Wheeler to Ann Bind or any other for a John Wheeler in Greenham 1811 +/-5 years

Nothing for an Ann Bind 1811+/- 5years

Looks as though someone has perhaps made a transcription error with surname Bind / Bird and year 1811/12 (possibly Parish register page headed 1811 and a change to 1812 not noticed by transcriber)

The 1811 version is attributed to Berkshire FH Society and the 1812 to familysearch


When was their first child baptised?

Many thanks for looking, I think that their daughter Sarah was born in Greenham c1814. I will check with my local library when they reopen on the 4th Oct. as they have a transcription of the Greenham marriages.

There is a baptism for Ann BiRd in Greenham in 1787 but no baptism for Ann BiNd so I would guess that the surname is likely to be BIRD.
