Marriages at Churchdown around 1800 (General)
Thanks a lot for that.
I was sceptical that there was a simple explanation like that, as the couple involved seemed to be living rather far apart. I'd not heard of the bonds section before - rather new when it comes to family history research.
I'll have a think about this new info and also your other suggestion in your subsequent comment and try to figure out what happened.
Very helpful - Nick
