Thank you, Kathy, George Williams 35 mariner b. Fayal, W.I. (no parents listed) and Hannah Higgins 25 married in Wellfleet MA Nov. 10, 1854 by George Denham, Cleryman. Actual record is listed on www.familysearch.org
This one will be difficult as no parents are listed on marriage record. I would try and see if you can get a copy of the form they filled out to get the marriage license and hope it might have this info. What info do you have that he died ca 1857? I went to the New Bedford Whalers List and there are 62 records for the name George Williams listed around the 1840/50 timeframe http://www.newbedford-ma.gov/Library/Whaling/Whaling.html "E" On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 1:25 PM, Kathy Cardoza <kmacard...@me.com> wrote: > There is a query posted on the Azores GenWeb for Williams here: > http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/queries2003.html#17 > > Kathy > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Visit the Azores GenWeb Project: > http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/azoresindex.html > Climb my Family Tree: > http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/Kathy/index.htm > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > > On May 11, 2011, at 1:05 PM, E Sharp wrote: > > Give me the name of the bride and the name of the groom and I can > probably find their marriage record for you. > > "E" > > On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 3:31 AM, shevory <shev...@comcast.net> wrote: > >> Thank you so very much; this is very helpful.
