'Jumper' & Eliza Fulker

Or perhaps he served his apprenticeship in that area and met a local girl, marrying in her parish?
Or perhaps whilst an apprentice, he made a friend of another apprentice and fell in love with her sister (happened in our ancestry).
Also - we had blacksmiths and ironmongers.

Not sure I'm correct about saying apprentices weren't allowed to marry. I did have some information about Watermen apprentices not being allowed to marry, which seemed to make sense as mine did, but in a church in no way connected to bride or groom. I cannot find anything definitive about it online.

Thomas Roberts & Mary Ann Walder 1864 Marriage
|
Hi
It seems to be a regular occurrence in Suffolk for mothers maiden names to be used as firstnames for children.
I have a Newman Jacques in my tree, son of Thomas Jacques and his wife Sarah Jacques formerly Newman.
I have a Lorken Wallaker in my tree and Lorken is a very unusual firstname but there are a few families with that surname in that corner of Suffolk which is near Haverhill.

Perhaps Sparks was an apprentice so not officially allowed to marry??
Thanks for posting that link Greensleeves - searched high and low for something to back up my suggestion
