It would make much more sense if it were details of a couple planning to marry. I wonder if it is simply rough notes copied on the nearest convenient scrap of paper.

How odd. None of these names have appeared before in relation to Sarah or her husband George. The entry appears to be on the same piece of paper as the title of the will, with the paper folded in three.

I can't post the image as I can't remember exactly what I signed when I took the photo, but I've got an example of a legal document which has had the relevant names crossed out and others substituted: once the original had served its purpose it was then used as a rough copy which would then be patiently copied by the law writer. (Thank goodness for computers!)

On FMP.
Joseph Hoole married Sarah Barker on 4 October 1722 at Gainsborough. Both from Haxey.
