1914 Banns
« on: Sunday 28 February 21 22:06 GMT (UK) »
   Looking for a marriage, which took place in 1915, I checked the banns, which were read in 1914. This was in a small village in May/June 1914, and the entry read "stoker in Royal Navy, bachelor of this parish and on the high seas", which I thought was rather nice. Presumably history intervened, as the marriage took place a year later by licence.
    The man in the next entry was also "on the high seas", and for the remainder of the war, the rector noted some details of each man's service if he was in the forces.

It's great when you get those extra bits of information in parish registers.  I certainly benefitted from that when I found a note at the side of a baptism which said emigrated to NZ. 

That note enabled me to crack the wall that I had encountered trying to find the father of the child.

The note in the burial register "an old man, formerly a soldier in Queen Anne's wars with the French" made me realise John was a lot older than I had thought (dying at 90+ years of age rather than the more usual 60ish) so I was eventually able to find a baptism for him.

I found my 4 x Great Grandparents marriage entry for 20th August 1796 in St. Monans Fife Scotland.

It reads "David Easson Junior and Agnes Wilson both in this Parish were Contracted and married 20th August 1796. Because he was going immediately to sea and therefore were three times proclaimed before the congregation and married after Sermon being upon Saturday before the Sacrament"

He was a fisherman and it helped to confirm that his father was also named David.

These little gems are priceless.

The marriage record for my great Grandparents included  the phrase "Married in the home of the bride with a registrar in attendance". It was in Harbour Grace, Nfld. I have never seen one like that before. How lovely.
