Marriage lookup St John's Hackney please
« on: Sunday 28 June 09 05:54 BST (UK) »
Pallots marriage index shows the marriage of  James Brunsden and Agnes  Vaughan St John's Hackney 1834. Time  permitting I would appreciate a lookup for the witnesses -  hoping to link two families . Thank you for reading this

Thanks Dawn for filling in the dates
   
Interestingly-- living at the same address  as  the mother of  James Brunsden in the 1841 census is an Elizabeth Weston age 19  -   was there an age requirement for witnesses ?

There was no age restriction. The requirement was to be able to give witness to the fact that a marriage between 2 people had taken place. They also didn't need to be able to write their names, as many witnesses I've seen signed their marks.
