For Elizabeth Smith (1736–1805)

County: Essex; Place: Little Clacton; Church name: St James; Register type: Parish Register; Register entry number: 121; Marriage date: 21 Sep 1775; Groom forename: Edward; Groom surname: GOODWIN; Groom parish: Of this parish; Groom condition: widower; Bride forename: Elizabeth; Bride surname: SPARLING; Bride parish: Of this parish; Bride condition: widow; Witness1: William SEMMONS; Witness2: James BREWER; Notes: Licence all sign

FreeREG record page, fetched 2026-09-19. Read as Elizabeth (Smith) Sparling remarrying after John Sparling's burial of 30 Apr 1774; the register does not name her maiden name or her late husband, so this is inference from the only Sparling widow Elizabeth of the parish. Not added to the tree as a marriage. The tree's death for her (6 Mar 1805) was not checked against a Goodwin burial (none found 1774-1810 under Goodwin in Little Clacton).
