Watlington marriage lookup request
« on: Thursday 05 May 16 12:51 BST (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if someone could look up the marriage of Edward Godfrey to Mary Backhouse on 29 jul 1764 and let me know if there are any witnesses, or any further details at all - I'm particularly interested in whether she was of the parish.
Many thanks!

Hi clb222

From the OFHS transcripts for Watlington:

Watlington (Oxon) Marriages
By Banns and o.t.p. unless stated

1764
Jul 29
xGodfrey Edwd:                              Jon: Crook
xBackhouse Mary                            Wm: Hester

William Hester was the clerk.
Both William Hester and John Crook witnessed other marriages of this period.


Hope this helps
Tony

Drat, professional witnesses! Ah well. Thanks very much for looking it up, I would always have wondered, and it's great to have confirmed and correct info.  :)
