Hersey Willard and Mary Boorer married by licence on 11 June 1771 in Ockley, Surrey.  (They were not my direct ancestors.)

Hersey Willard's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me, although I am guessing he was born about 1745 and may have been the son of Edward Willard (1707-?) and Jane Hersey (?-1752).  He was buried on 31 March 1797 in Ockley.

Mary Boorer's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.  She may have been buried on 26 November 1792 in Ockley.
