Marriage 17 Dec. 1808 Bishopwearmouth
« on: Tuesday 02 May 23 06:28 BST (UK) »
John Bell and Jane Bell were married in Bishopwearmouth on 17th Dec. 1808.  Can anyone find out whether there were witnesses (and their names) and any other notations regarding this marriage.  I wonder if they were cousins; as the surnames are the same.  Any help would be appreciated.

The image is somewhere here. It might be an early transcrip?   there is a preamble

Searching at DRO for Bell-Bell marriages  in the 19th century yields 76 matches. Some of these may be duplicates (bonds and parish records for the same marriage) but there are still 68 matches if I limit the search to “Parish Marriages”.

Couldn't quite read the surnames for witnesses - many thanks.
