Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1680 Marriage Record - Latin
« on: Saturday 17 August 24 15:24 BST (UK)  »
I have attached a record from the parish of Hevingham in Norfolk (Hambleton to Barwick). The Latin words/abbreviations are a stumbling block for me.

Norfolk / Land Tax Records for Stratton Strawless Parish
« on: Sunday 11 August 24 22:43 BST (UK)  »
I have tried unsuccessfuly to find the land tax records for Stratton Strawless online and also at familysearch.org (online or at the history centers). [Previously I have been able to access land tax records for Somerset parishes at my local history center.]

I would appreciate comments about the choices I have for viewing Norfolk land tax records for roughly the period of 1766-1800.

Many thanks.

Kent / Kent: Deal St. George & Deal St. Leonard
« on: Thursday 23 February 23 17:31 GMT (UK)  »
I have just read that Deal St. George began as a "chapel of ease" in Lower Deal and that it was related to Deal St. Leonard in Upper Deal. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Deal,_Kent_Genealogy.

Using FindMyPast, I found the 1771 baptism record for one of my ancestors recorded in the parish registers of both Deal St. George and Deal St. Leonard.

Was it the practice for baptisms in a chapel of ease to be recorded at the parent church as well?

Was my ancestor baptized only at Deal St. George?

Comments please on how to interpret the situation.

Armed Forces / Royal Navy Lieutenant was superceded in 1769
« on: Friday 17 February 23 15:28 GMT (UK)  »
The attachment shows a 1769 muster-table entry (for HM Sloop Cruizer) for a Royal Navy commissioned lieutenant who was superceded. The usual meaning of "superceded" would be replaced. The attachment also shows that the lieutenant's servant was let go at the same time as of officer.

Was there any special Royal Navy meaning for "superceded"?

The word "superceded" is in a column entititled "Whither or for what Reason." The month and day are in the column "Time of Discharge."

The Common Room / East India Ships - Crossing the "Second Bar"
« on: Thursday 24 November 22 15:14 GMT (UK)  »
I have been reading about East India ships bound for China during the late 1700's. In descriptions of the return route, there is often a reference to "crossing the Second Bar." Does that refer to a location on the Pearl River, or could it be the Hooghly?

Somerset / Willy of Middle Lambrook, Kingsbury Episcopi, Somerset
« on: Wednesday 28 September 22 19:56 BST (UK)  »
A recent history of the Thomas and Jane Willy family of Middle Lambrook is available for free download at this link:
https://archive.org/details/thomas-jane-willy-of-middle-lambrook.

The Willy family was Presbyterian and has often been confused with Thomas and Jane Willy of East Lambrook, a CofE family.

The book includes information on Willy in-laws named Gifford, Ostler, Pittard, Thomas, Fry, Phelps, White, Shepherd and Pitcher.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / What is the word before Sarah?
« on: Sunday 11 September 22 14:57 BST (UK)  »
I am not certain what the word is before the name Sarah Galpine on the attachment. Is it "niece"? Or?

Somerset / Effect of not reading banns in 1788
« on: Friday 28 January 22 14:47 GMT (UK)  »
Lord Hardwicke’s Act of 1753 (An Act for the Better Preventing of Clandestine Marriage. 26 Geo. II. c. 33) requires the reading of banns in the Parish Churches “wherein each of the said Persons shall dwell” (referring to the intended bride and groom). Parents and guardians were given the right to Dissent to marriages of a child under the age of 21. The failure to Dissent appears to be “consent by silence.”

I have been looking at a specific situation - a 1788 marriage in Lopen Parish in Somerset where the groom “of Kingsbury” was under 21 (and his parents were still alive) and the bride was over 21 and lived with her parents in Lopen. The Lopen banns record states “no Impediment alleged”.

In the Kingsbury Episcopi marriage register for 1754-1812 there are nine records between 1754-1780 of banns related to proposed marriages in other parishes, but from 1780 through 1812 there are no banns records for proposed out of parish marriages.

The two parishes are about 4 ½ miles apart by country roads.

Lord Hardwicke’s Act seems not to deal with the legal effect of not reading banns.

Assuming that the groom’s parents were unaware of their son’s marriage in Lopen in 1788, would the groom’s father have had a legal right to cause the marriage to be annulled?
