Not sure on their economic status; she was a maid before her marriage and he (if he is the James Burville mentioned in the pamphlet) was likewise in service. Definitely a lead worth following though, will get digging.

Burnell is also helpful as gives another spelling to explore and also could be part of the groom's family, thank you!

Hi

Burnell and Clophill go very well together. (G@@gle it)
"Definitely" one to watch for.
