Would be very grateful if someone could have a look please.

Many thanks

The marriage took place on 2nd October, 1786.  He a bachelor, she a spinster, both of the Parish of Saint Marylebone, Westminster.
Married by Banns, by Benjamin Lawrence
Both signed their names
Witnesses Elizabeth Williams and Thos Bird

Thomas Bird was probably a member of the Church, he witnessed at least three marriages on the same page.

Thanks so much, not my Samuel, got quite excited as I've searched for Samuel George with no luck for quite a while, there are connections with Middlesex although he comes from Wiltshire.

I think credit should be given to the London Metropolitan Archives.  ;D

I feel better now MaryA as I only read the warning post afterwards and then felt really guilty.  Should have known a rootschatter would do the right thing even if I didn't  - thanks again.
