Thanks for this info Maiden Stone. I hadn’t thought about England being considered a mission area for Catholics priests. You conjure up quite a picture of lone priests rambling around on horseback, looking for a flock and any suitable place to worship. I agree in the 1800s, some of R/C faith would have married C/E. I suppose it was easier and probably less expensive too, not having to employ a registrar to record their wedding, making a marriage legal.
