With such an unusual bride's name, this record stands out - but it's not in 1739.

Name: John Roberts
Spouse's Name: Onner Fry
Event Date: 26 Jan 1767
Event Place: Wellow, Somerset, England

Kacy please can you tell us where you got your information.

Are you working backwards from a known ancestor? What are the names of John Roberts's children, for example?
I'm afraid I don't understand where you are getting your names and dates from.

Kacy please copy and paste the marriage as none of us can find a 1739 marriage for these 2 people

Kacy if he was born in 1704 he would hardly be having children in 1782.......

I can come up with 20+ John Roberts born Gloucestershire that would fit in with a 1739 marriage

BeverleyW Report 19 Jan 2015 22:06

That man cannot possibly be the father of Hannah (1782) and Joseph (1785).

Kacey if Honor married at 16 then she would be nearly 60 when the first child was born.
