HAYNES/HANES/HAINES - Purls Bridge
I am trying to trace the origins & marriage of John & Alce HANES who baptised a son, John in 1769 in Welney who married Ann HOVEL/HOVELL (born Denver 1767)in Littleport in 1791.
Alce died before 1775 when John, widower, married Mary GOODWIN in Welney.
I have found a reference to a Settlement Examination, Ely & South Witchford Petty Sessions, dated November 1767, of a John HAYNES of Welches Dam, formerly employed in Welney so maybe John was born in Welches Dam but where he was baptised I can't trace.
Can anyone help please?
