Hi, been away all day sorry.
The only details I have of this marriage is what someone in the US sent me who was asking about the family. It is not checked or anything.
He said:
Maily Manley married John Henry Attewell on 25 May 1874 (St John's Episcopal Church) ***WHERE?***
Marriage took place in the evening, William Attewell and Constant and Caroline Smith were Witnesses. The record shows the place of residence for Maley (Different spelling) as Dorsetshire.
My notes in red.
Also from the Daily Arkansas Gazette Little Rock AR Sat May 30th 1874 issue 162 Col B
Sebastian (Local NEWS)
"Rev D McManus rector of the Episcopal church at this place married last Monday two gipsies John Atwell and Meley Mandley. They are English and were raised in the Episcopal church with the doctrines of which they seemed well acquainted. He also baptised on the same occasion two children of respectable looking gipsies who seemed to fully understand the sacredness of the rite."
As for a certificate or anything, I have absolutely zilch!!
