St Mary's marriage look up please
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 04:18 BST (UK) »
I have a marriage listed for Joseph Benford and Ann Sands at St Mary de Castro Church, Leicester dated the 21 July 1821. I would be grateful if anyone could let me know if the original record shows any information on who the witnesses are. I believe Ann was only 17 years old so potentially it may have had a parent listed who gave consent or perhaps it was a marriage by licence.

Many thanks
Deb

Hi
My copy of St Mary's Parish Register shows this marriage as follows
21 July 1823
Joseph Benford of this parish
           &
Ann Sands of this parish
Marriage by Banns

Have double checked on Leicester & Leicestershire marriages CD and information the same .. no further notes of age etc.

Hope this helps

Hi Bunnygirl

Oops I did mean to say 1823 not 1821. Thanks for the info though. I guess that as it was by Banns then there may be very little extra info. I am hoping that the original record may still have a witness or two given Ann's young age.

Thanks for looking.
