I wonder if anyone would supply details of the marriage of CATHERINE PULCIVER in West Alvington, year 1746 please?
Many thanks...... :-*

Married Samuel Hooper on February 8th 1746

That is so kind.
Thank you. :-*
Being such an early date there won't be any other info will there?
-
That was the only information on the record I looked at, just one line :'(

Yes, I assumed that. :D
When I find the actual register entry there might be witnesses, but that won't necessarily help.
I am going to search the South Hams as best I can for Catharine's baptism. I am fairly confident I have found a 3rd illeg daughter for my transported convict!
The surname is so unusual, but can be spelled in at least 12 different ways, because only the P*L****R remain constant with all the vowels being interchangeable and the C more usually an S but the V quite often an F. :'(
I'm guessing a search using that many wildcards wouldn't work!! ;D ;D

FindMyPast have the Marriage register images. There is no indication that they are the BT's

Perhaps try PULSFORD as a surname variant.

Thank you for the suggestion.
There is a baptism for a Catharine PULSFORD on 28th May 1727 at Sandford, which is Mid Devon, a little North of Crediton.
The register shows the previous baptism, 3 days earlier, was for a George Pulsford, and I hazard the fathers are likely to be close family members, both living in the village of Sandford.
There is a marriage on 8 July 1753, for a Katherine PULSFORD to Richard Isaac, (both of Ashreigney,) at Dowland. The map suggests Dowland is approx 30k NW of Sandford.
Therefore I am guessing this is probably not the Catharine Pulciver I am seeking, but will welcome any opinions.
