Travel to Gloucestershire for wedding in 1651?

And thank you very much for explaining the "Mrs" in the marriage record.  I was going to ask what that squiggle meant.  I didn't know there were multiple records.  Not to segue too much, what does that imply?

Mrs - abbreviation for Mistress. If she was a peasant or a workman's daughter she wouldn't be Mrs. Likewise Mr. -a respectable person. Possibly a land owner or son of a land owner. A clergyman was sometimes styled Mr.

Interesting nuances, thank you both.  I'm only familiar with American records and that's not necessarily a thing.  I thought the "Mrs." implied that Mary Masters was a widow.

I think that even if she was a widow she would still have only had her forename and surname entered in the register if she was a lower class woman.
I should say that I'm more familiar with 18th & 19th century records. I had a fruitless search for what I thought was a married woman c.1760. She was actually the 20 year-old half-sister of the local squire, by the same mother.

Fascinating, thank you
