Charles Dance married Hannah Gosling 23/1/1804.
Hannah was born 20/6/1784 at Kingston Lisle, the daughter of James Gosling and Sarah Mary Angel who had been married at Kingston Lisle 10/12/1781. She had an elder sister Sarah born 13/10/1782. It is possible that Sarah Mary Angel was from either
Stratton St Margaret where her parents Thomas Angel and Betty Williams were married 17/4/1760
or, Faringdon to parents William & Ann; and born 14/1/1753
or, Shrivenham to parents John & Elizabeth; and born 15/4/1756 (or1757)
Her age at marriage would have been 22(or less), 28 or 24 respectively so any could fit! Geographically the latter seems favourite.
