Sarah Hainsworth

Over a period of three weeks in 1813, three weddings involving members of the West Essex Militia, including the marriage of John and Hannah, took place at the parish of Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. The three couples alternated as bridal couples and witnesses, and included Sarah Gilbert who married James Hainsworth and Hannah Williamson who married Simon Childs. It may be conjectured that Hannah and Sarah Gilbert were related, and the same may apply to Hannah Williamson since the marriage registers of Notts county list several Gilbert-Williamson marriages during the middle and late 1700s.
