Title: Marriage Condition on Banns
Post by: sarahofford on Sunday 31 January 10 21:41 GMT (UK)

Please could someone decipher the condition for Elizabeth Sarah Seamer on this marriage Banns? The only conditions I have encountered before is Spinster and Widow.

Many Thanks in advance!

This is an actual marriage certificate(not banns) and it does say Spinster.
Albeit in very spidery writing with a pen that gave out when he wrote the P of spinster  ;D

I have stared at it long and hard and have to agree with Carol that it does say Spinster.
