water damage?
« on: Monday 02 August 10 20:41 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Not  sure if this is the right place for this but i cannot read this due to i think water damage. I tried to change the contrast etc.. and i was able to make out the following:

marriage entry at very top, water damaged but can barely make out the name thomas elliott and i think Jane mallaburn? Thomas Elliott, bachelor of this chapelry in the *****, and jane mallaburn of ***** this? chapelry (as same?) were married in this chapel by banns? on the fourth day of june in the year one thousand eight hundred and twenty six****************************this marriage between thomas eliott and jane malaburn in the prescence of john elliott, robert micheson?(mallaburn?)

anyone have access to forensic sofware or software capable of extracting the words?

Thanks

I read it as:

Thomas Elliott, bachelor of this chapelry in the diocese of Durham, and Jane Mallaburn spinster of this chapelry and same diocese were married...

The minister I think is Thos Hancock Esq curate. I'm fairly sure about the Thos but the Esq is a guess based on context.

I can't read those images at all, they're too pixellated, let alone possibly damaged by water!

 'this marriage' was solemnised 'between...........' - nobody has actually written this is their posts, but i'm sure you probably got that bit.

Agree with diocese (twice)

Witness' name looks more like Robert Mitcheson (and presumably bride's), to me.
Lane, Burgess: Cheshire. Finney, Rogers, Gilman:Derbys
Cochran, Nicol, Paton, Bruce:Scotland. Bertolle:London
Bainbridge, Christman, Jeffs: Staffs

Thanks everyone for their responses and i am not sure how to get a better resolution image as i got this off the familysearch.org pilot website.  Im fairly certain that the brides surname is mallaburn but it is so hard to make that out.
