Marriage banns

Oooh thank you! I wonder why I didn't find that. I guess I'd better buy the certificate.

that 3rd marriage is interesting. It took place on 7th June and then was presumably annulled. It is crossed out in the register with the note that the banns read in the groom's parish were in the name of Turner not Tann.

They were presumably read again as 3 weeks later on 28th June the marriage took place again.

Imagine what confusion that would cause today!

Goodness, that is interesting. Just goes to show you really need to look at original documents and not just rely on on-line sources! I assume that the mistake in the calling of the banns meant that the marriage wasn't actually legal in which case they presumable wouldn't have had to annul it. Thank you for that.

I wonder about the marriage of my ggg-grandfather, married in 1805 as Henry Pearson, when his surname was actually Piercy ?

Oh how awful! I just received the death certificate of Mary Tann. It is the right one, and the cause of death is "Burns in body and limbs. Clothing ignited by cinder from fire. (5days)". She was 19 and they had only been married for 16 months.

It’s described in the newspapers.
I tried to clip it for you. But too large a file.
I’ll try again

Thank you. Makes difficult reading!
