From Margaret Hawkins 2nd Feb 2005 markins@btinternet.com
"William Messenger married Eleanor Billing in 1836 in Swinford, Leicestershire. Eleanor was a widow at the time she married William, her first husband being Richard Tunnadine. Eleanor was born in 1782 and baptised on 17/03/1782 at Swinford. She died in 1838 then William remarried a fw years later. I got this data from Parish Records.
Eleanor Billing was the daughter of John Billing & Hannah Neal who are my Great x 5 grandparents.
Hope this helps,

Margaret Hawkins"
