General Information:

According to the Berkshire Marriage Index and Sarum Marriage Licence Bonds, Catherine Hemming spinster aged 34 of Kinbury married John Freebody aged 43 a widower of Kintbury on the 31st May 1820. Although it is not proven that this John is the widower of Ann nee Balding and Caroline nee Gossington, the year and place make it most likely. Ann died in December 1813, and Caroline February 1820.
