Notes |
Married:
- The marriage was solemnised by the Revd. Christopher Gawthropp Clark and the witnesses were Alice Humphreys and William Edwards.
Marriage License:
- As in the case of Rebecca Keen, William applied for a marriage licence. Strictly speaking under Ecclesiastical Law, he should have applied to the Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury for a licence, as he resided in the Diocese of Gloucester and his bride lived in a different Diocese, namely Salisbury (Sarum). However, the rules seemed to have been bent or simply ignored, as the Marriage Bond shows. The formality of a bond required both William and William Edwards (cardmaker of Chippenham, presumably his bride's brother, to guarantee to pay each the sum of £100 if it transpired that he was not lawfully entitled to marry. When William wished to marry Rebecca Keen two years earlier in his home Diocese, he merely had to swear the Allegation, a type of affidavit.
