Latin Translation of Marriage Allegation

[sgf]

Hello

Could anyone please help with a translation of the Latin section of the attached marriage allegation which I understand relates to Richard Mousley of Atherstone, Warwickshire and Jane Towe of Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire.

Thank you - Simon

I think you may need to remove the full image, as it is clearly subject to copyright restrictions. We're allowed to post small extracts only, for deciphering purposes.

Thank you - for the welcome, the translation & the advice re copyright!

But the translation raises a further query - what connection (if any) did Joseph Painter and Richard Mousley have?  I know that Richard Mousley went on to marry Jane Towe (as is perhaps made clearer by the writing on the rear of the allegation), but what role would Joseph Painter have played in events?

[Bookbox]

The first extract is not an allegation but a bond -- a promise to make a payment if certain conditions are not met. The conditions are normally set out in the second paragraph (in English, below the Latin).

Joseph Painter was acting as 'bondsman', in support of Richard Mousely. He may have been a relative, but not necessarily – a bondsman might be a close friend, business associate, etc., and bonds don't normally state relationships. His chief role in this context was to support the groom in paying the penalty, in the unlikely event that there should turn out to be a legal impediment to the marriage.

Your second extract is simply an instruction for a licence to be granted so that the minister can marry them. You will need to look elsewhere for a record of the marriage itself ...

=====
Let a licence be given to the minister of Mancetter for a marriage between Richard Mously of Atherston in the county of Warwick, chandler, aged 22, and Jane Towe of Chilvers Coton in the aforesaid county, spinster, aged 21. The aforesaid Richard Mously and Joseph Painter of Nuneaton, tailor, were bound.
Richard Mously was sworn before me, John Foxcroft, surrogate.

Richard Mously and Jane Towe married 1 August 1717 at Mancetter.  Just a single line entry - image available on Ancestry.

Thank you again - for the further translation and explanation - it all makes sense now.

I have another License issued by the good Doctor. Most of it is readable  - License Joseph Adams and Elizabeth Tampson 1718 Aston  - but I cannot firstly establish where Aston is and secondly which church permission was granted in (it looks like ......bury).

[Bookbox]

Have you looked on the back?

The church is St Werburg(h), Derby, so maybe they were from Aston-on-Trent, about 7 miles away?

The bride's surname is written Tomson.

ADDED (from the back) ...

Derbiæ septembris 8: 1718
Fiat Licentia matrimonialis inter
Josephum Adams p(arochi)æ Aston ætatis
annorum 24 Cælibem, & Elizabetham
Tomson eiusdem pa(rochiæ) natam annos
21 solutam

Obligati fuere dictus
Adams & Georgius
Pycroft[?] & Jurati coram
me Johanne Bradbury

Ministro de
sancta Wareburga
in oppido Derbiæ

At Derby, 8 September 1718
Let there be a licence for marriage between Joseph Adams, of the parish of Aston, aged 24 years, bachelor, and Elizabeth Tomson, of the same parish, aged 21, spinster

The said Adams and George Pycroft[?] were bound and sworn before me, John Bradbury

To the minister of St Werburgh in the town of Derby

=====
The Obligation (which is above the Condition that you posted) states that Joseph was a shoemaker.

The parish register shows they married the same day at St Werburgh, both of Aston.

DUH  - no I didn't but to be fair I hadn't got the whole document. Many thank for your translation - unfortunately not mine
