Origins & marriage of James Hewlett and Mary Dimmock in 1746/7

[jonwicken]

Hi the marriage bond of James Hewlett and Mary Dimmock is on ancestry here:

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/60856/images/englb030d_d-d-cm-1746_m_00109?pId=1194586

It is dated 21 January 1746/7 shows they were to marry at St Andrews Cathedral in Wells.

However I have not been able to find the actual marriage and indeed don't seem to be able to find the Wells Cathedral registers.

Am I missing something or are they not actually online?

If anyone can help me with the marriage and the origins of this couple that would be appreciated.

James Hewlett was of Compton Dundon but a baptism for him is not to be found there.

Thank you,
Jon

A James Hewlett senior was buried in Compton Dundon in 1760 and an Ann widow of James Hewlett was buried in 1764 at Compton Dundon so it seems probable they were the parents of James Hewlett who married Mary Dimmock in 1746/7. But I have found no marriage for them and no baptism for James Hewlett junior. I have no idea what parish Mary Dimmock came from.

As far as I know, the Cathedral's registers are not available online. They are held at the Cathedral Archives - https://www.wellscathedral.org.uk/your-cathedral/history/archives . If you can't get there yourself they may be able to look for you,  but I can't see any research service mentioned on their site.

Thanks very much David. Familysearch has them as being part of the Somerset collection transcribed in various online locations which is strange. I will write to the archives and see what they say!
