[Shrop63]

Hi, i have a half record of Peters marriage in 1737 to a Dorothy, but doesnt give her surname?.  Also trying to tie in a Thomas Ellis born 1682 in Shifnal to another Peter. Thanks in advance

If you mean the marriage in Longford November 1737 her surname is also Ellis, they were both of Shifnall

There is  Dorothy borm in 1707 Shifnal but she has to some relation to Peter! Very odd

Dorothy Ellis was a spinster when she married Peter Ellis, they were both approx 22 years old.  They married by Licence

Thanks, i thought he married his cousin for a minute!

Cant find  Dorothy at all who would be around 22  the only one is indeed his cousin born to Richard in 1707

In the UK marrying your first cousin is, and I think always has been legal.
