Number of witnesses at marriage
The Lost Cousins Newsletter has a paragraph about the number of witnesses on a marriage entry in the PRs in 1803. There were 13.
This got me thinking about my great-grandparents' marriage certificate in 1891 in Portsmouth. I have noted them: Louisa Hubbert Quintrell (bride's sister) John Quintrell (bride's father) Fanny E Quintrell (bride's sister) Mary D Quintrell (bride's sister) Bessie White (groom's mother) W E White (groom's father) T B Quintrell (Tom Bromley bride's brother) Frank Quintrell (bride's brother) S. Tye ? Charles Knott (a doctor who married Fanny Quintrell) M R-? Stennet Sandall Maude Cooper So I have 13 on the marriage certificate. https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...2F00186059%2F2 Frank Quintrell and Louisa Quintrell also married at Portsmouth but didn't have quite as many witnesses as their sister.
