Marriage at St. Giles' Church, 1775
« on: Thursday 21 June 18 11:48 BST (UK) »
Hello,

The marriage is between Robert Game and Mary Harman at St. Giles' Church, Cambridge, on the 16th or 17th of July 1775. Mary was christened in the parish in 1756, to Thomas and Matthew Harman (?). Could someone clarify the date of the 1775 marriage (and parishes of the parties in case there's a clue to Robert's origins)?

I'd appreciate any help!

According to the transcript the marriage took place on 17 July, both were of the parish.
Witnesses:  Elisha DAY, William WAITS

Mary was baptised at Giles on 1 February 1756 daughter of Tho and Mathew.  (Mat(t)hew was used as a female name at one time).

Best wishes,
Selina
