Opinions please. I've been searching for years for the marriage of my 4xgt grandparents HUGH and KETURAH DANIELS who were having children baptised at Rotherhithe,Surrey from 1800 to 1819. I know lots about them after they married but not when and where they married nor what Keturah's maiden name was. Now I've found this in the new LMA records on Ancestry:
St Mary at Lambeth 6th January 1793. HUGH DANIELS married CATHERINE HUGHES.
Is this them? The name Keturah was used for several following generations in the family and I know from censuses and from a contact whose grandmother was one of these Keturahs that the name was abbreviated to Kate. Could it have been misrecorded at the marriage? My Hugh Daniels was Welsh and Hughes is a Welsh surname isn't it? There is a KATURAH HUGH born in Wales within about 10 years of my Keturah on the IGI although it isn't a proper batch number and the birth date says "about".She was the daughter of Hugh and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was used by my couple for their daughter. OH says I'm clutching at straws and I'm afraid he might be right....
