Curry Rivel marriage 26 Jun 1800 - Samuel COLLARD & Mary WILLMONT

[jonwicken]

Hi I have seen the marriage of these two at Curry Rivel and he was a shoemaker.

He is therefore the apprentice of my ancestor Thomas Hopkins of Curry Rivel who he was apprenticed to in 1796 and paid the duty in 1797.

I am wondering if Thomas Hopkins or someone in his family was perhaps one of the witnesses to the marriage.

The marriages were published in book form from 1642 to 1812 but omit witnesses.

If anyone please has access to a better transcription and is able to check I would be most grateful.

Many thanks,
Jon

Hello Jon, I don't have access to the records, but Free Reg and Uk Genealogy don't give witnesses for this marriage either. Sorry can't help more.

May I suggest that you get in touch with either the Somerset Records Office or the Somerset & Dorset Family History Society?

I have revisited this apprenticeship in another thread here https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=862417.18 and realised that Samuel Collard was actually the master and Thomas Hopkins was the apprentice, so am correcting this old post of mine as I know incorrect information is often out there and can be copied by others.
