Decode/refine a LDS reference to Norwich?

Wow!

That's excellent, and pretty much all I could have hoped for. It does leave some complication thought; the John Cook of the 9 Nov 1810 Bond for William Smith, Harriet cannot be her father, since he's stated as Bachelor in the 2 June 1813. So possibly Robert Cook (see other thread) is the father, and John "only" the Bondsman.

With John Cook and Robert Cook being millers in Oakley, and William Smith being of Dicklborough AND Harriet being of Oakley, everything is looking nice and consistent for a marriage in South Norfolk Milling Circles.

I've now found that Robert Cook died, age 69, in 1823. So he was still alive of the time of Harriet''s wedding (and Marriage Bond); assuming he's her father, I wonder why didn't sign the bond.

Ah - perhaps because he was bankrupt (sale for creditors, The Ipswich Journal 15 September 1810)

James Crickmore was himself a widower when he married Phoebe Lodge!!

I keep forgetting to "just google".

I found these pages:

http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/crickmore/13/
http://www.rgreen.org.uk/CrHoxne.html#W182-11

Which give vastly more info (although I'd need to confirm from sources that are nearer the "source").

Continuing the "second marriage" theme, the first page claims that Jane Daniels, James's first wife was herself a Widow!
