Mystery marriage in Pallot's. Can't find anywhere else.

[johngosling]

Hi,

There is a Pallot record for the marriage of a Jane Prigg and John Dudd in Ottery St Mary in 1828.

The trouble is, I can't find any other supporting parish record.

The name Jane Prigg does figure in my tree, where I have several supporting documents for a marriage to a Robert Dudd on Jan 30th 1828, also in Ottery st Mary.

I wondering if it's something as simple as an error on the Pallot record, and the John is really Robert.

I can't see a Pallot record for the Jane Prigg/Robert Dudd marriage.

I'm confident that Jane and Robert went on to have plenty of children, so it's not a case that Jane was almost instantly bereaved and remarried another Dudd.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Regards and many thanks,

John

So, looks like an error on Pallot's?!


Unfortunately, few Devon PR's are online.
So it looks like a visit to one of the Archives/Record Offices in Devon is a must?

Or buy the transcriptions from Devon FHS?

I'm leaning that way as well. I've also had sight of the original parish record, from which I assume the Pallot person would have extracted their note, and it's Robert and Jane. It just struck me in replying to you to have a look again at the parish record sheet and see who else is on there, and, while by no means conclusive "evidence" for a mistake, it is interesting to note that the marriage record directly above (of the 3 on the sheet) is for a John.

So perhaps the Pallot guy took that John and linked it with my Jane.
