Title: Marriage Rowe/Dunkin in Bere Ferrers
Post by: trafalgar05 on Monday 02 March 15 17:50 GMT (UK)

Hello
If anyone happens to be going into the records office could I ask if they could look up the marriage of Matthias Rowe and Sarah Dunkin/Duncan 18 Feb 1785. In particular I am searching for anything that will confirm the spelling of Sarah's surname and her family perhaps from witnesses. I suspect they do not come from Bere Ferrers. Thanks for any help.

Allan,
In case you don't have access to FindMyPast. Sarah's name is recorded as Dunkin but of course that is the way the writer heard and recorded it. Witnesses are Eliz' George and Robert Cliown (this what it looks like to me but others may have a view).

Although it has been transcribed as Dunkin Sarah has signed her own name as Dunken.

My view of the witness is Robert Chown or Chouen
