Title: 1652 Marriage entry
Post by: Kessa on Friday 08 October 21 07:28 BST (UK)

Hi
Could someone help me with this marriage entry from Avening PR in Gloucestershire.  It is the third line from the bottom.  According to Phillimore Marriages the names are Thomas Millard and Sarah Wickes.  Would anyone be able to confirm that please?
Many thanks

Thanks very much Watson, just wanted to make sure Phillimore's got it right.  I appreciate your time.

I think you are wise to be cautious.  The accuracy of transcription in Phillimore's marriages varied a good deal.
