Title: Church register entry
Post by: kath davis on Tuesday 21 October 25 15:41 BST (UK)
While looking for something else - I get easily distracted! I found this entry at the front of the parish register I was browsing. I wonder how many snippets we miss by not looking at those first few - often empty pages of registers?

A little gem of information :)

This entry was actually a copy of the original - so someone else found it interesting, while the register was still in use.  Presumably most priests were not willing to marry 2 women, so one of them 'became a man' - simple solution!
