The marriage i'm researching took place in 1757

What names are you looking for - I may be in the BRO in a couple of hours and could do a car index lookup while I wait for the documents I want to see to be brought out of store.

Hey very much appreciated newburychap the marriage took place at St.Nicolas Parish Church,Newbury between William Moulding/Moulden/Maulden/Molden and Mary Shaw on 08/Nov/1757, and I hope you find an entry somewhere in the three preceeding months.......their first child was baptised 1/June/1758, so you probably wouldn't need to search back that far which would probably explain the need for the quick marriage.
Thanks again, I was there all day Thursday last week and I ran out of time it's a 5 hour round trip drive for me so you don't realise how helpfull you're being.

Thanks stonechat, i'm starting to get excited now.

The marriage i'm researching took place in 1757, is this about the same time as the Clewer marriage you researched?, the reason I ask is that if it isn't then maybe the abodes of both parties probably won't be stated in my case.

Would I be correct in thinking that it could be possible for one parish to state the abodes and another not to, or are the abodes always stated in your experience.

Thank you newburychap, I knew i'd get a concise answer from you, i'm relatively new to marriage license bonds/allegations research, to be honest this is my first ancestor I am attempting to research using MLs.

I thought that it was the Archdeacons' duty to send the bonds/allegations to the Bishop/Dean.....as I stated, it's all new to me.

Is it only BRO that holds the card index, and would it by any chance inform us of the couples' abodes ?.

Is this index card a C19 transcript from the Archdeacons originals that were destroyed during WWII ?.

You've been a great help, the fog is beginning to lift,
Andy

These are also available on CD from Wilts FHS. They are the bonds/allegations held in the WSRO, I would be surprised if the BRO don't have a load of them (to be honest I have never had the need to check their holding).
The Berks RO has a card index to the marriage licence bonds/allegations for the Archdeaconry of Berkshire. However, the originals were destroyed when a local Reading solicitors' office was bombed in WWII.

What information can I expect to discover by viewing this document, other than the brides and grooms names (which I already know)for a marriage that took place in St.Nicolas Parish Church, Newbury in 1757.

I have already checked Sarum MLs at W&SRO, and it seems that the Archdeacon 'forgot' to send them to the Bishop.


Thanks,
Andy

Just thought I'd pop this reply in to clear up any confusion and to assist with our research into the Moulding surname.

Esther/Hester Weston/Wesson is my 4xGt.Grandmother Baptised St.Nicolas Newbury 25/Dec/1758, this ties in with her age on the burial entry as 66yrs 12/May/1824, and also ties in with her stating that she is 56 yrs on 27/May/1815 in Joseph Toomers Census(1yr older than John Moulding her husband). She was the daughter of Benjamin Weston and Hannah(ann) Rodgers a widow on their PR marriage entry on the 11/Nov/1755 at St.Nicolas, Newbury, .........possibly been previously married to Richard Rogers on 20/Oct/1753 Chieveley, Berks as Ann Baal.

John Moulden was baptised 23/Jan/1761 St.Nicolas, Newbury son of William and Mary, this would make him 54 on the day that Joseph Toomer carried out his census but his age is actually recorded as 55yrs...probably to make him look closer to his wifes age...?????.

William Moulding married Mary Shaw at St.Nicolas, Newbury on 08/Nov/1757, and it states on the PR marriage entry that he was a sojourner in this parish, and that she was OTP.

Taking into consideration that Barley was an important trading product at this time in Newbury coupled with the fact that the River Kennet was made more navigable between Newbury and Reading and hence London by the early 1720's, then we can only speculate that our William Moulding was probably a barley trader from either Bradfield or East Lockinge, the later being renowned for especially good barley.

I've had some time at WBRO to research the Wm Molden bapt.09/Mar/1734 son of Francis Molden and Sarah Cooper, but as William and Mary don't name any of their sons Francis it just doesn't seem right, but William and Mary did have 3 sons named William bapt. 01/June/1758, 13/July/1759 and 1774 either after himself or after his father if he is the Wm. Moulden from East Lockinge bapt.14/Jan/1732.

If anyone gets a chance could they please follow up on this William to see if he married and settled in East Lockinge, or if he was burried there.

Happy hunting,
Andy
