## Thomas Shawe's Second Marriage to Hannah Fenlon

Thomas Shaw as a widower when he married Hannah Fenlon

## LDS Website Entry - Wedding of Thomas Shaw and Hannah Fenlon

This is the entry on the Latter day Saints website documenting the wedding of Thomas Shaw and Hannah Fenlon. The entry refers to Ellen Fenlon , but i am 99% certain its been transcribed incorrectly and should in fact be Hannah Fenlon. All the children of this couple had a mother called Hannah Fenlon (and not Ellen).

I do however think that Hannah Fenlon had a sister called Ellen and possibly her mother was called Ellen Fenlon (so maybe thats where the confusion comes from when the original document was transcribed).

The entry clearly states that at the time of the wedding , that Thomas Shaw was actually Widowed. So to whom was Thomas Shaw briefly married previously ?
