There is a fabulous report of the wedding in The Standard, 24 June 1830, however it doesn't mention the bride's family.Wow thanks for finding that
"Last Thursday a young man, named David Harrard, was married at Freiston, and while the happy bride and groom were coming from church, a girl, who lives servant to Mr. Tinks, at the Bull Inn, and who fancied that she had more right to David than the other girl, proceded up stairs, with her master's gun, which was loaded, and, having taken her station at a chamber window, remained there, with the avowed intention of shooting the false Lothario on his return from church. Fortunately, however, the wedding party returned by a different route, or else the enraged girl might have accomplished her fatal purpose. - Boston Gazettte"
