The marriages in this transcript over the period 1813 to 1837 are contained in two registers belonging to St James’s Bath, but they relate in the main to the parishioners of Lyncombe and Widcombe. This came about because the chapel of Widcombe was deemed ‘extraparochial’ in 1753 and, as a result, all marriages pertaining to the parishioners of Lyncombe and Widcombe between 1754 and 1843 were solemnized at St James’s, Bath.

  1. greenisthewood says:

    Once again, I find myself at your blog!

    Researching the connection between Ann Smith and Eleanor Orchard. Ann seems to have left her estate to Eleanor in her 1794 will (proven in 1795) for the duration of Eleanor’s life, subsequently reverting to her descendants. Eleanor died in 1837, but it wasn’t until 42 years later when a newspaper article (among others, the Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette 13 February 1879 on the BNA if you have it) was published seeking the entitled descendants of Ann Smith that the estate was (or wasn’t?) distributed.

    I haven’t found Ann’s will, which would be an interesting read. Perhaps somewhere exists the 1879 distribution with a copy of it, in archives handed in by the solicitor’s firm; Arthur J. Head of 52 Chancery Lane.

    Anyhow, you’ve detailed here most usefully that Ann was a witness to Eleanor’s marriage, along with her father-in-law William Orchard. I wonder as to Eleanor (née Allen)’s history too, as I haven’t discovered her parentage, she married William’s son Walter with a license, but clearly has a significant connection to Ann Smith.

    Hi… Welcome…. again; nice to see you! Glad you could find something else of interest but I know no more than I have written here and it’s a very long time since I researched this family I’m afraid.
    Kind regards, Karen
