After the death of my Gr Grandfather, my Gr Grandmother married her first husband's nephew (also her nephew by marriage of course) and this certainly seems to have been frowned upon in the family.

Interesting about the adoption restrictions Elaine. Obviously the social coming in as well as the biological.

All very interesting stuff, and I must say that its odd to find non blood relationships disallowed when cousins are allowed to marry, and as you say Gadget, in adoptive relationships.
    I asked our Vicar after church today why the rules are different in the Anglican church and she thinks the royal factor of cousins marrying each other may be the answer. If you are founding a new denomination I guess you can make up your own rules.

Well this isn't inbreeding but it's weird when you try to work it out.

My GG Grandfather married my GG Grandmother.  His brother married her sister.  So any children they had would have the same 4 grandparents and are technically cousins but would look more like brothers and sisters, and of course they have the same 4 grandparents, and the same ancestry so that would also make them more like brothers and sisters.  I'd love to get in touch with someone descended from the other side...

Hi Andrew,
                    I have come across a couple of brothers marrying sisters, they had a double wedding, probably to save money rather than for romantic purposes I suspect.

We have several in our family too, some fairly recent.

It doesn't help being brought up in the Plymouth Brethren who felt nobody else was worthy!

I'm not really sure but it certainly wasn't forbidden.  It seems to have happened quite a lot!
