Hello Vicki,

If you go to the RootsChat Lexicon of Genealogical Terms and Abbreviations at:
http://surname.rootschat.com/lexicon/index.php
and search under:
Irregular Marriages
you will find references to relevant threads.

These include the following post of mine which explains 'Warrant of Sheriff Substitute':
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,227262.msg1202921.html#msg1202921

Please ask if anything isn't clear.

Regards,
