I'm trying to track down what appears to be a cousin marriage.
William Samuel Semmens b 3/1/1862 in Southwark married Mary Jane Semmens b 4/11/1865 in Goldhanger Essex in June quarter of 1893. By 1896 they were living in Portsmouth where they had at least 2 children, Maud E (b abt 1896) and Gladys M (b abt 1898). Mary Jane was my G Grandmother's sister.
William Samuel is believed to be previously a sailor, probably in the Navy (some of the Semmens family in Essex were fishermen / boatmen) but by the time they were living in Portsmouth he probably worked in the Naval dockyard and may have been a foreman.
His father was William Semmens b abt 1828 in Little Totham, Essex. His mother was Maria b abt 1830, also in Little Totham. William and Maria had 2 other childrren, Ann b 1859 and James b 1854.
Mary Jane's parents were John Semmens b 1839 in Goldhanger and Rebecca Kingsbury Gooch b 1845 in Goldhanger. John's parents were James Semmens b abt 1803 in Tollesbury and Mary Ann b abt 1805 in Little Totham. They had 7 other children, none of whom were William the elder.
I would like to establish that this was a cousin marriage, and hence the relationship between William the elder and Mary Jane's ancestors.
