Default John Tenney of Downham Market, Norfolk, and his wife Watson

I am transcribing the PCC will of John Tenney as above and note that his wife's Christian name was Watson.

I haven't been able to find their marriage. Can anyone find it, please?

They had a son, also John, and a daughter, Sarah or Sally, who married William Register.

Sorry, Merry. He died in 1820 and had grandchildren then. His daughter Sarah married in 1808. I would think the marriage would be c. 1780.

His burial entry (19 May 1820) says he was aged 60. (ancestry/Family Search)
