Certificate - marriage to John Wiseman

I ordered the marriage certificate of Hannah and Her second Husband John Wiseman. Her first Husband John Houghton who is our direct ancestor died in 1840 and the state was not issuing marriage certificates when he married Hannah.
When the certificate came and I had a chance to look it over a couple details became apparent that might prove helpful helpful for future research. First, the occupation of hannah's father is listed as "Sailor." This is piece of information that we did not have before and it makes sense because Hannah was born in a coastal area (Winteron, Norfolk, England). Also current finding suggest that her parents were married in a coastal town as well (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England). The second clue is the name of "Hannah Dawson" in the witness category. This person who signed her mark as witness to the wedding is most likely Hannah's Mother. Who was also named Hannah. If this turns out to be true, it will be another piece of evidence that her mother was still living and that she was still going by the last name Dawson at the time the certificate was written. This is important because in Grandpa George's History, He refers to Hannah's Mother as "Hannah Mary Ann Aldous." As we search for this woman in the census records, this bit of information could be helpful in which surnames we should be looking for.

Hannah Dawson blog is up and running

I finally got this blog started. The purpose of which is to track and organize the genealogy research that is being done on Hannah Mary Ann Dawson. This is an important lady because according to Grandpa George she is the first in the Southgate line to join the church.
The General organization of this blog is as follows: Important permanent information on Hannah will be included as hyperlinks on the left hand side of the screen and less important day to day research notes will be the main entries in the blog. Checkout those links! They contain some pretty cool documents.
