Young bride

[ElizabethHerts]

The only actual marriage entry I have seen is this one, Kate:

It is from the Bishops' Transcripts.

The marriage is given, then followed by a marriage for August of another couple, then we have 1731.

Sarah was transcribed as Williams by FMP. I have submitted a correction. It is faint, but you can see Hollinworth.

Yes, I looked at the BT entry, but if we could see the PR's, it might be clearer whether it was 1729/30 or 1730/1. We can't be sure whether the entries in the BT were copied out in the same order that they were in the PR. But the marriage licence bond says 1730 on it and I would have thought they would be using the official year on those, which would mean it was 1730/1.

I realise that, Kate. I can't find the PR, unfortunately.
I'll make a note in my tree.

It doesn't look as though FMP have the Cheadle PR marriages online. I suppose you would need someone to look it up at Cheshire Archives. The Cheshire PR project says 1730 but again, not 1729-30 or 1730-1.

Thanks for your help, Kate.
