To my mind, as the guarantor of payment of the bond it is his status in society rather than his occupation that is needed.

Like getting your passport photo certified, by a magistrate, law enforcement officer, minister in holy orders, etc.

I understood Viktoria

Didn't find out till this morning our grandaughter got home   after 11pm, was in Sheffield at 2 ish, don't know how she furthered her journey but thank goodness she is home,  no doubt I will  hear about it at sometime

Thank you all for help and kind words I do appreciate it and it is someone else to share with.

On to this week's diary now

This may be of some consolation.
If she had a ticket from hull to London she should claim delay replay for that ticket, as the delay was
more than an hour she should get a full refund. Claim from the train operator she commenced her journey with.

Any tickets she bought but did not use she should claim refund from the retailer of that ticket.

Incidentally, in the event of this disruption, caused I think by a piece of roofing felt from a garden shed being blown on to the overhead cables, the original hull to London ticket should have been accepted by any train operating company on any reasonable alternative travel to London.

If Mary was 40 when she married maybe there were no children, I would try to eliminate the other Marys by finding the other couples in later censuses, I personally would consider the “Hereford and co” sufficient, Rosie may not agree .

Most churches I have been in have a board listing all the previous incumbents.

Now part of the Shellrock benefice , they have a website with a “contact us”, might be worth an ask, the worst that can happen is you might get ignored.

garlands, you say Joseph and Agatha were "childless for 20 years", but that seems most unlikely, since later they had Catharine. They probably had several children following their 1648 marriage.  It's just that you haven't found their baptisms yet, including Ann's.  They are probably in a nearby parish.

Or that at the height of the civil war records were destroyed, never kept or vanished. Familysearch has a bit to say about records during the civil war.
