Bland Family Marriages

 I've uncovered the marriage record of Mary Paget, daughter of Lucy Paget (born Bland) in the familysearch records for St. Marylebone, London, Parish Church.



George Jones of the Parish of St. Marylebone in the County of Middlesex Bach & Mary Pagett of same Spinster were married in this Church by Banns this ninth day of November in the Year One Thousand seven Hundred  and sixty-seven By me Stephen Degulhon.  (signed) George  Jones, Mary Pagett, in the Presence of Francis Rupell, Elias  Davis 

We had a leg up on identifying this as the correct Mary Paget since Lucy in her will referred to her married name (Mary Jones husband of George Jones).  

This seems like a good time to also post the marriage allegation of James Brooks, widower, and Sarah Watts, spinster.


London and Surrey, England, Marriage Bonds and Allegations, 1597-1921 for Sarah Watts
1763 Jan-Mar


Sarah Watts was the daughter of Peers Watts and Sarah Bland.  This time it was the will of Peers Watts who identified Sarah as Mrs. Brooks.   James left a Will probated October 22, 1777 (Prerogative Court of Canterbury Wills 1384-1858) in which he had several properties to pass on to his sons James and Joshua. He appears to have been quite prosperous.
