I was hoping you could look for a baptism for Richard Perrett and George Perrett (spellings may vary) born around 1826 and 1823 respectively. Parents could be John and ?.
There is a son that was born later, around 1860, to Richard but I have that info.
Thank you

I have not found Richard but there was a Frances Jane Peratt Christened in Hindon 14 November 1830 to a John and Ann.
Frances :)

Richard Perrett is listed to be born in Salisbury C/1826. Try St. Martin Parish. John Perrett and Ann Masters were supposed to have married in that Parish in1820.
Can anyone find burial for AnnPerrett in Hindon? also John Perrett[aka]Parret] in Hindon. Both are found alive in 1851 Census.

Thank-you Francis, Valda, & Chris.
I believe there were two John & Ann Perrett families at this time & Mary Jane & Francis Jane belonged to the other couple, any feed back? All I have been able to find are the two sons for our John & Ann, and then the baby listed as John Perrett Snook, in '51 census
-
Thank you so much for all this info. Chris, I didn't know that about John. Where did you find that tidbit out. The things that come out in genealogy sure make it better than reading any book. LOL
But seriously, thank you very much everyone that has helped!
-
found a site which stated that the West Country had a strong tradition of non conformity.
Could someone explain this please? I am searching from Canada, and am not sure what is meant by non-conformity
Is that why finding information is so difficult--because BMD are not found in Family Search at Salt Lake, LDS library.
-
Bunty3Black
Which do you mean - births, marriages and deaths as in the civil registration which began 1st July 1837, or baptisms, marriages and burials as found in parish registers?
If you mean the latter can you specify what source/s you have tried? Have you been to Wiltshire Record Office for instance where most Wiltshire parish registers from the C19th and before are deposited, or are you relying IGI online index (Family Search) which has about an 18% coverage of Wiltshire parish registers both Church of England and non-conformist registers (not conforming to the Church of England e.g Methodists, Baptists, Congregationalists).
What evidence do you have for there being two John and Ann Perretts in Hindon in the 1820s? Have you looked at the actual baptismal entries which give the father's occupation?
shaunadavid
'I didn't know that about John. Where did you find that tidbit out.'
Can you specify what in particular is the information you want to find the source for? Are you asking this question of me or Chris?

Valda

Thanks for the reply, Valda.
I live in Canada and when I need to find a BMD I go to my local LDS Family History Center, they help me find the Cert # for my ancestor and I remit money and info to the appropriate record office to which I have been directed. I have found two John & Ann referred to in Census different DOB. different family members. The only family members I have found are George & Richard until Baby John Perrett Snook in1851 Census. I really am confused as there are so many name repeats.

FreeBMD have transcribed (done by volunteers, so you must always check the original General Registry Office index) the GRO index
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
The coverage of the GRO index by FreeBMD can be checked here
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progress.shtml
The original quarterly/yearly GRO index can be accessed for free here.
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progress.shtml
When you have a full reference from the index you can order a certificate directly from the GRO online.
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
This applies only for the civil registration for England and Wales.
The 1851 census actually gives 5 John and Ann Perretts with Wiltshire connections, besides the couple you are interested in - two living in Wiltshire, but the rest elsewhere (though all the Johns were born in Wiltshire). That shows John and Ann Perretts were not a particularly rare combination. Of the other John and Ann of potentially the right age on the 1851 census, they are in Somerset - all their children were born outside Wiltshire in Somerset.
Which John and Ann Perrett on a census do you think were also in Hindon, and other than the combination of their two names why do you think they were actually in Hindon in the 1820s?
What evidence is there that Mary Jane and Frances Jane's parents were not the same couple who were the parents of Richard and George?
If either of the two girls survived childhood than by the time of the 1841 census Mary Jane would have been 20 and likely to be working away from home as a servant, if not already married. Frances Jane would have been 11. Have you found a Frances Perrett of the right age on the 1841 census with a John or Ann or both?

Thank-you for all the help, Valda. Much appreciated.
I have been searching Ancestry.Uk data base.
1841 census lists PL. of B. as Fonthill Bishop[C/1797]For John Perrett. I joined the Perrett Society several yrs back but the only extra info was the Marriage -1820- at Salisbury, Wilts. also that John was a shoe/Boot maker.
and that wife was Ann Masters.
As you found, family was living [1841] at Fonthill Gifford' John age 40; Ann age 45; George age 15; Richard age 9;
1851 Census- Shows Ann, Geo. Richard at one address and John as Neighbour living with Sarah Snook & baby John Perrett Snook is added

HI Valda, Wow, you sure know your sites. I will also search these sites. As for the comment on which you asked for clarification, it was addressed to Chris.
"Chris, I didn't know that about John. Where did you find that tidbit out.", but I am still waiting for a response. I was hoping for some more interesting info about the family. ;)
But thanks for asking. shaunadavid

Hi All,
The following information came from the Perrett Society family notes Volume 4 Summer 1987
Wiltshire Record Society Publications Vol.40 Wiltshire Dissenters. Meeting House Certificates and Registrations (1689 - 1852) (J.H.Chandler)
The Toleration Act of 1689 only allowed congregation or assembly for worship other than in a recognised church building if the place was certified in advance to the Bishop, Archdeacon, Justices of the peace or Quarter Sessions, The act was repealed in 1852.
There is then a page of entries i have copied the following two
Entry 662
23 April 1805 (25 April 1808) West Coulston in Edington. The house of Richard Perrett now inhabited by John Perritt. Baptist (Dissenters who scruple infant baptism). T Wastfield, John Elem (WRO D I/9/2/4)
Entry 961
20 Jan. 1821 Fonthill Giffard (sic) . A house in the possession of Francis Harding, the property of Samuel Wheeler. Charles Crickmay of Fonthill Giffard, John Perrett, Henry Biddescomb. (WRO DI/9/2/1)
The above is from George Perrett. I have included this item to show that "Dissenting" was quite common and is probably one reason why it is difficult to find some baptisms and marriages, Look at these types of records. (In PRO.)
hope the above is of some interest
-
I would be obliged for any information linking the Perrett family to the Goddard/Ballard family.
In the 1841 census there are Emma Perrett aged 4 and Sarah Perrett aged 6 living with my great great great grandmother Mary Goddard [akas Ballard] and her daughter Sophia(Jane) Goddard in Middle Winterslow.
These are the only entries that I am aware of for the Perrett name in Winterslow. There is, however, a baptism of twin daughters Mary and Elizabeth to Anthony and Martha Perren 8 Dec 1834. It may be significant that Anthony is a shoemaker, strengthening the thought that this could be a Perrett family.
Colin
-
Since my previous posting re-Perrett/Perren in Winterslow, I have checked my transcription of Winterslow marriages. I have an entry for the marriage of Anthony PERRY of Stockbridge to Martha Bell 9 Jul 1832. It seems reasonable to assume that Anthony Perry is the Anthony Perren[as transcribed by WFHS] who is the father of Mary and Elizabeth in 1834.
Anthony Perren's occupation as a shoemaker does suggest he could be a Perrett, but I can see no means of confirming this. In fact, in 1841 he and the family are living in Stockbridge as Perren, perhaps confirming this is a red herring re-the Perrett family. Perhaps somebody else can make sense of this.
-
There are 26 Perrens in Stockbridge on the 1841 census. 19 born there on the 1851 census (excluding Anthony's family who seem to have disappeared - perhaps emigrated).
For the two grandchildren in 1841 these baptisms may be a possibility

Thank you Valda for that very useful information. Unfortunately I have just returned the film of the Winterslow PR to LDS so I cannot follow-up all the details immediately, no doubt I shall borrow the film again, for about the fifth time. The marriage of Sarah to William Noyce is relevant because Sophia Jane Goddard married Charles Noyce, and in the 1851 census Mary[now called Ballard] and another daughter, Fanny, my great great grandmother, were living with Charles and Sophia Joyce
My main interest in Emma and Sarah Perrett was whether their presence with Mary Goddard(=Ballard in 1851) could cast light on where Mary had come from and what her maiden name was. Following your information, I have found in the IGI[from LDS member] the marriage of Thomas Perrett and Anne Goddard in Laverstock 23 Oct 1832.
This now gives a new avenue for research, based on the possibility that Anne and Mary Goddard were sisters, and that Mary kept switching between her married name of Ballard and her maiden name of Goddard. This has to be linked to her place of birth as Ropley Hants. in 1851 census, and the probability that she and her husband John Ballard were living in Ringwood Hants. around 1810.
All comments on the above most welcome.
Good luck

I saw the Mormon church member submission for the marriage of Thomas Perrett and Ann Goddard. Laverstock marriages have some coverage on the BVRI (1726-1906)
http://genoot.com/downloads/BVRI2/
I checked for the marriage and did not find it - but it is an index not obviously the actual registers themselves which do not have coverage on the IGI.
Mary Ballard gives her age as 73 on the 1851 census birth year circa 1773 in Ropley Hampshire. Fanny Ballard was aged 27 birth year circa 1824 in Winterslow (Mary would be 51ish - her relationship to Fanny isn't given and Fanny wasn't present in the household in 1841). Sophia Jane (Jane on the 1851 census) aged 29 birth year 1822 Winterslow. Sophia Goddard on the 1841 census was aged 20.
For some reason it was necessary for Sophia to marry twice (it would be interesting to check her father's details on both marriages to see whether any changes were made)
Marriages Mar 1844
GODDARD Sophia Jane Alderbury 8 355
NOYCE Charles Alderbury 8 355
Marriages Jun 1844
GODDARD Sophia Tane (probably a mistype in the actual index) Alderbury 8 415
NOYCE Charles Alderbury 8 415
Mary Ballard is given as mother-in-law to Charles Noyce on the 1851 census. Also on the 1851 census 5 households before is Emily Perrett aged 13 born Milford staying with Sarah Noyce.
Given the ages it would seem logical to presume that Mary Ballard/Goddard born circa 1773 would be Emily's (Emma born 1837) grandmother not her aunt and that if a marriage did take place between an Ann Goddard and Thomas Perrett in 1832, then Ann Goddard was probably the standard age - opening 20s - birth year circa 1812ish (when Mary would be 39).
Fanny married the same year as the 1851 census. She wasn't sure what her surname was.
Marriages Jun 1851
Ballard Fanny Alderbury 8 437
Goddard Fanny Alderbury 8 437
Sheans Charles Alderbury 8 437
Do you have the baptisms of both Sophia Jane and Fanny in Winterslow?
Mary Goddard on the 1861 census aged 85 born Ropley was still living with her daughter Jane. Her death was registered as Ballard.
Deaths Mar 1867
Ballard Mary 90 Alderbury 5a 145
Following on this line of enquiry has all the potential to be a complete red herring, but on the 1841 and 1851 censuses you have Ann Perrett (a widow from the information on the 1851 census) working as a servant at Laverstock Asylum and born circa 1812 Titchfield Hampshire. Later in 1851 she remarries.
ANN PERRETT
RICHARD COLLINS
Marriage: 13 APR 1851 Saint Martin, Salisbury, Wiltshire
The couple then live in Laverstock where they have one son and Ann is widowed again.

Thank Valda, your thoroughness is amazing.
Charles Shean is actually Shears and he and Fanny Ballard/Goddard are my greatgreatgrandparents.
Your suggestion that Ann is Mary's daughter makes eminent sense and seems to fill another gap in the jigsaw for this family which has confused me for several years until I transcribed part of the Winterslow PR.
I have had from the outset the following children for John and Mary Ballard baptized in Winterslow:
Sophia Jane - 15 Jun 1817
Fanny - 18 Mar 1821 [in 1841 I believe she was the servant Fanny
Goddard in Broughton]
I have now found:-
Mary Ann Ballard baptized Ringwood 3 Oct 1804 father John no mother given
Richard Ballard baptized Ringwood 25 Oct 1810 father John no mother given
Louisa Goddard baptized Kilmeston 22 Jan 1815 father John mother Mary
As I have written this I have found the following:
Eliza Ballard baptized Ringwood 1807 father John Ballard
William Goddard Winchester 20 Oct 1811 parents John and Mary Goddard
[There is a marriage in Winterslow for an Elizabeth Goddard with William Goddard as a witness, but these are more likely to be the children of Philip and Elizabeth Goddard born in Winterslow]
Richard Ballard married Fanny Coleman in 1830. In the 1851 he gives his birth as Winterslow but there is no such birth in the PR.
Louisa Ballard married William Hatchett in 1842 and died in 1846 - tantalizingly there is a 37 year old widow called Louisa Roberts who is the keeper of the Lamb Inn in Salisbury in the 1851 who was born in Ringwood.
It is tempting to believe that Mary Ann Ballard baptized Ringwood is the Ann Goddard married in Laverstock. There does seem to be a strong family connection, however, I am worried that Titchfield seems a long way from Ringwood, but then so does Kilmeston where Louisa was baptized.
My main interest is to trace the ancestors of John and Mary Ballard.
All I know about John is that he was buried in 1843 aged 73.
Mary was born Ropley about 1778: I have been unable to confirm this because there are gaps in the Ropley PR as filmed by LDS . The only explanation I can see for the use of the Goddard name after her marriage is that it was her maiden name. This leads me to a working hypothesis that she was the daughter of Philip and Ann Goddard who first appear in the Winterslow PR with the birth of their son John in 1788 followed by the burial of Ann aged 27 also in 1788; Philip was remarried to Elizabeth.
All inputs most welcome
Best wishes

Richard Ballard gives his birthplace as Westmean Hampshire on the 1861 census circa 1806. He died just after the census. The nearest to Westmean would be West Meon - not far from Ropley but a long way from Ringwood. In 1851 his birth age is consistent circa 1806. I don't know his age on death as it is to early in the death register for ages.
There is a Peter Ballard buried in the West Meon registers in 1800 - 1st April.
Hampshire has poor coverage on the IGI only about 43% parish coverage pre 1813. The BVRI supplements it (often not from the registers themselves but from the Bishops Transcripts which leave gaps - but with Ropley I think the baptism register is missing for the crucial period - Hampshire Record Office would be able to confirm that)- no coverage of West Meon on either. Hampshire Genealogical Society have a baptism index on CD but only from 1813 onwards.
There are a lot of Ballards in Ringwood on the censuses and as yet there really is no evidence which proves they have anything to do with the Ballards you are interested in. After the baptisms you have mentioned the series continues in Ringwood with John's wife named as Sarah.
e.g.
JOHN BALLARD
Christening: 20 DEC 1812 Ringwood, Hampshire
Father: JOHN BALLARD
Mother: SARAH
You also have no evidence that Louisa was baptised in Kilmeston. Goddard is not a rare surname and you would expect at least some John and Mary Goddards to be having children in Hampshire at this time.
At this point you have only three potential earlier born children - pre Sophia Jane and Fanny in Winterslow.
Richard born circa 1806 - possibly West Meon
Ann born circa ? (no evidence as yet to believe her name was anything other than Ann) - still to eliminate or confirm the Titchfield possibility for a birth.
Louisa - you don't specify her age born circa ? (have you found her on the 1841 census - does she indicate not born Wiltshire?)
There is no indication as yet that where ever and when they were baptised they were not baptised in the name Ballard.
Did Richard marry as Ballard?
Louisa married as a Goddard (is her father's name on the marriage entry given as Goddard or Ballard?)
Marriages Mar 1842
GODDARD Louisa Alderbury 8 349
HATCHETT William Alderbury 8 349
We presume but as yet have no evidence for that Ann married as a Goddard circa 1832.
Was John buried as a Ballard? His death seems to have been registered as such.
Deaths Sep 1843
BALLARD John Alderbury 8 152
If he was buried in 1843 where was he on the 1841 census - and Richard and Louisa?
Does John's burial entry give any further information?
Therefore at this point the known period of Goddardness starts post Fanny's baptism in 1821? By 1830 at least if Richard married as a Goddard not a Ballard? And lasts until certainly John's death in 1843 when it becomes more dual and fades completely by 1851 when it returns to Ballard. (Richard's family were Ballards in the 1841 census so they are the exception - are their children baptised as Ballard or Goddard?)
The most likely reason for the Goddard alias would be that John was born illegitimately. At this point there is no reason to believe John did not marry Mary and their children were not born legitimately.
Have you tired the Hampshire Genealogical Society's marriage index for potential John Ballard marriages to Mary in the Ropley/West Meon area or perhaps John Goddard to Mary?
I think the index is probably only available to search for members of the Society (which is by the way an extremely good one - with a very informative quarterly journal).

Thank you Valda for your trenchant critique. I shall attempt to answer some of your questions, but I have been deluged with much new information in recent days and I have not had the opportunity to research it. The registers of most of the parishes of interest are available on film from LDS and I shall be looking at them when I return to the High Wycombe Family History centre in September after the holidays.
Firstly, my overall view is that John Ballard was an itinerant worker or was moving between the estates of his landowner employer. The fact that his family lived at the eastern side of Winterslow suggests that he, as were many of my ancestors, was a forestery worker. In terms of the records, we only know where and when children were baptized, we do not know where or when they were born or their age at baptism. One hypothesis that I am working on is that Mary was Mary Goddard and was the daughter of Philip and Ann Goddard who were the first Goddard family to appear in Winterslow and presumably came from Ropley.
For all of the Ballard/Goddard children, the father's surname on the marriage certificate is the same as their's on the marriage certificate. Fanny gives her father as John Ballard[I have the certificate]. Richard married as a Ballard and gave his father as John Ballard.
I did look at the film of the Ropley PR and the crucial part was missing. I shall borrow the film again to look for Philip and Ann Goddard.
I understand your point re-Ringwood baptisms. My current view is that there were two John Ballards, one of whom was married to Sarah. The only evidence for this is that Mary Ann was baptized before the marriage of John and Sarah.
I am quite comfortable with Louisa Goddard. Her baptism in the IGI is 22 Jan 1815 with parents John and Mary Goddard. I think it is "almost" beyond the realms of coincidence that Louisa, John and Mary should turn-up in Winterslow. In the 1841, there is a Louisa Goddard as a servant in Quarley Hants who was born in county - bear in mind that there is a Fanny Goddard as a servant in Broughton in 1841. A witness at Louisa's marriage was Sophia Goddard; Louisa was 27 when she was married in 1842.
John was buried as Ballard, there is no further information.
Mary was buried as Ballard but Goddard name also appears in the PR burial record.
Where were John and Richard in 1841? I do not know, but both of their wives were in Winterslow. My only suggestion is that, if they were father and son and itinerant forestery workers, they were working away from home.
With respect to Ann Goddard in Laverstock, I am entirely dependent on your input. Again we are relying on the extent of coincidence, but the observation that Emma and Sarah Perrett are staying with Mary Goddard in 1841 strongly suggests a causal link. [The Laverstock connection requires further consideration, for instance there are eight Goddards in the 1851 giving Laverstock as their place of birth, also, as far as I know, Laverstock is in the parish of Ford which is a detached parish of Idmiston and would appear in the registration district of Andover].

Richard Ballard gives West Meon as his birthplace circa 1806, so for his baptism to be Richard Ballard in Ringwood in 1810 his baptism would obviously have to be a late one.
JOHN BALLARD
SARAH PECKHAM
Marriage: 11 MAR 1806 Ringwood, Hampshire
A first or second marriage for the same John? What status does he give on his marriage? A late start for the couple if their first child was baptised as late as 1812.
The Ringwood sequence of baptisms is
3rd October 1804 Mary Ann- father John
1807 Eliza - father John
RICHARD BALLARD
Christening: 25 OCT 1810 Ringwood, Hampshire
Father: JOHN BALLARD
1812 John - parents John & Sarah
1815 Elizabeth - parents John & Sarah
1818 George - parents John & Sarah
1824 Martha - parents John & Sarah
This sequence doesn't indicate a late baptisms for Richard. The register itself presumably gives no indication that this was the case?
and burials
2nd March 1817
Daughter aged 9 of John
8th September 1822
Daughter infant of John
1841 census HO107 398/21 folio 21

Sarah Ballard 55 Born Hampshire
Richard Ballard 4 Born Hampshire
1851 census has John Ballard pauper aged 68 born Sandford Ringwood in an institution and a married Sarah of the right age, also born Ringwood and married, visiting.
You would need to check the West Meon (close to Ropley) baptism registers for Richard Ballard's baptism to eliminate him being baptised where he said he was born.
At this point you have no evidence of the use of the Goddard surname until 1841 - unless Ann's marriage can be found in 1832 to Thomas Perrett since Richard married as a Ballard.
'I am quite comfortable with Louisa Goddard. Her baptism in the IGI is 22 Jan 1815 with parents John and Mary Goddard. I think it is "almost" beyond the realms of coincidence that Louisa, John and Mary should turn-up in Winterslow.'
But did John, Mary and Louisa Goddard turn up in Winterslow or did John, Mary and Louisa Ballard turn up in Winterslow? Since why would there be a one off baptism as Goddard when all the other known children were baptised as Ballard (jury still out on Richard and Ann though)
The IGI gives a Mormon submission for a possible marriage of a John Goddard (but no marriage found - Hampshire Genealogical Society might be able to say from their database or not whether such a marriage exists).
John Goddard
Birth: 27 APR 1793 Sarisbring, , Hampshire
Death: 24 NOV 1860
Parents:
Father: Daniel Goddard
Mother: Maria
Mary Saunders
Marriage: About 1815, Hampshire
Have you checked the Kilmeston parish registers to see what the occupation was for John Goddard and whether it was the same as for your John Ballard.

Hi Valda
Thank you for your comments and questions. The most relevant answers will have to wait until September when I can start ordering films at my Family History Centre again.
My first priority will be the Ringwood PR. I need to establish whether there were two families with John Ballard as the father, also, an age for Richard when he was baptized would significantly advance the cohesion of my thesis that these are the John and Richard Ballard who arrived in Winterslow.
I presume that the family arrived in Winterslow as Ballard because the next two children were baptized Ballard. I can only guess at why Louisa was baptized Goddard but, by the same token, I cannot explain why Sophia was baptized Ballard and married as Goddard with father John Goddard, whereas Fanny signed as Fanny Goddard akas Ballard and gave her father as John Ballard.
One new piece of information. John, Mary and Sophia Jane all died in Gunville, albeit separated by many years; this does support the view that John was absent at the time of the 1841. In modern Winterslow, Gunville is a road about 100 yards long which is a continuation of Middleton Road which would have been Middle Winterslow in 1841 and was where Mary Goddard was living in 1841; in 1881 my grandparents were living in Gunville Drove.
Regards
Colin
I would be very grateful if a Rootschatter could supply a map or description of Winterslow pre-1900. I am particularly interested in the eastern end including The Common, Gunville, Middle Winterslow and The Shripple.
Many thanks.
-
I think before checking Ringwood baptisms I would order West Meon - if Richard's baptism is there then Ringwood is eliminated.
I would also look at the Laverstock marriages for the two Ann marriages. The second one would give her father's name.
Regards
Valda
-
In previous correspondence we have a marriage between Thomas Perrett and Ann Goddard at Laverstock in 1832. I have now checked the Laverstock PRs and this marriage is not present.
The fact that the IGI reference includes a precise date inclines me to believe that this marriage occurred but in a different parish. I would be obliged if anybody can identify this parish.
Many thanks

Further to my previous message re-Ann Goddard/Perret, Ann Perrett supposedly married Richard Collins in St. Martins in 1851[according to unknown source in IGI]. This part of the St. Martins PR has been extracted into the IGI and it does not include this marriage. Also, there is no marriage for Richard or Ann about this time in Free BMD.
Please, can anybody help me with these marriages for Ann Goddard/Perrett.
Cheers

there doesn't seem to be any doubt concerning the 1851 marriage taking place at St Martin's Salisbury. The IGI coverage claims do not necessarily contain all the entries for the periods stated.
13th April 1851 St Martin Salisbury

Thanks for that Valda.
Please, could you check to see if Ann's marriage to Thomas Perrett is in the BVRI. As the marriage was not at Laverstock, St. Martins seems a possibility. I shall borrow the St. Martins PR from LDS in the near future.
I have looked at the Titchfield PR for up to and including 1812 but Ann is not therein, although there are entries for Ballard and Goddard. I need to look at the PR after 1812.
The information that Ann's father is John Goddard is very interesting as it keeps open the possibility that Ann is the daughter of John and Mary Goddard akas Ballard.
Thanks for your help

There is nothing in the BVRI for Ann's marriage to Thomas. I had already checked and since there was nothing didn't mention it. I would contact the Nimrod index which has complete coverage of marriages in the county. There is a search fee.

Hi Valda
I finally have found the marriage of Thomas Perrett and Anne Goddard. It was at Amport Hampshire on 23 Oct 1833. This comes from the IGI and is extracted from local records. [there is also an entry from a church member giving the year as 1832].
Cheers

Just acoss the county boundary. The actual marriage entry would of course specify the parish of residency of Thomas Perrett (as well as Ann, but marriages usually took place in the woman's parish of residency) at the time of the marriage and whether it was by banns or licence.
