Hello Jacqui
I had a little time today whilst in Penrith, so called in at the Library Local Studies section and printed off the marriage cert of Joseph and Catharine for you.
Marriage solumnized at the Parish Church, in the parish of Penrith in the county of Cumberland 4th February 1841, Joseph Green of full age, bachelor Joiner, residence at time of marriage Penrith father’s name John Green, Gun Maker and Catharine Bell, of full age, spinster, of Maiden Hill, father Thomas Bell, Sawyer. Married in the Parish church according to the rites and ceremonies of the established church by licence by me William Jackson, Vicar. Both Joseph and Catharine signed and witnesses were Hannah Hodgson and William Hodgson.
Note – Maiden Hill is just outside Penrith on the road to Lazonby, I know at one time it was a pub, it’s a house now.
Re death I mentioned in one of my postings above. This was the above John Green – Westmorland Gazette 23 Sep 1826, at Penrith on Wednesday last John Green Gunsmith aged 59. (So born c1767). He was of Middlegate when he died.
Poss marriage as Sandra mentioned. PRs mention John Green, bach and Ann Thompson, widow, both of this parish by licence 12 Dec 1804. Possibly the reason why they married by Licence:
Baptism of Joseph Green 12 June 1805 St Andrew’s Ch, Penrith father John Green and Ann Thompson.
4 x marriages of a John Green in the early 1800s at St Andrews Ch, Penrith – parish registers as follows (from book and not microfilm):
1792
John Green married 12 Nov 1792, bachelor and Minor and Rebecca Powley, spinster, aged 22, both of this parish. (I think this rules out your John Green as he would be 25 years of age if his death is recorded rightly so not a Minor.)
1804
As above John Green 12 Dec 1804 by licence to Ann Thompson, she being a widow he a bachelor
Only one child I think to this marriage the above Joseph.
1808
20 Jun 1808 John Green, batch and Sarah Benthem, widow, both of this parish. (Note on the IGI it has HANNAH Bentham). (So not your John if he is the one who married Ann Thompson).
1812
1 Jun 1812 John Green, widower of this parish and Sarah Todd, widow of Barton parish by licence. Could this be your John who married again in 1812. Had Ann Thompson died?
Hope this helps – I have emailed marriage cert to you.
