On Wednesday, I was at Lincoln archives and managed to find the marriage of my gggg grandparents Robert Young & Bridget Westoby, 1796 in Barton upon Humber. This was a great find as it showed that Robert was from Goxhill & I had already managed to find a baptism for him there, so I was able to take his family further back. However, Bridget was of the parish, ie Barton upon Humber and I have been unable to find a baptism for her either there or in nearby Barrow or Goxhill. :( I did manage to find a baptism for a Bridget Ostler in 1766 in Barton, so I am now wondering if this could be her & she was married before her marriage to Robert. According to the marriage record, they are listed as single man & single woman, although the record after uses the terms batchelor & spinster. I have been unable to find a marriage for Bridget Ostler on Familysearch, but I don't think it holds marriages for Barton.
Could she have been a widow?
