How Does One Know? (General)

I'm flabbergasted at the amount of detailed knowledge available to members of FODFHT - information that would take me weeks to unearth myself. I may still be a little tentative about my tendency to opt for Awre as the the most likely marriage place, as I had originally hoped, but I now have a wealth of knowledge and avenues for further research that I previously lacked.

I was aware from previous research that not all churches could perform marriages, since I would find most of a family's Baptisms and Burials were performed at one while marriages took place at another that was further away. Then one has to consider the situation in Awre Parish where Blakeney's population grows rapidly while Awre's shrinks. The pressure would be on to have marriages at Blakeney.

Many, many thanks for everyone's contribution. I am indeed lucky to have ancestors who came from the Forest of Dean.

Regards to all,

Bernard
