What do you know of marriage law?
« on: Sunday 21 October 12 09:59 BST (UK) »
This website is well worth visiting - some very informative and well-researched papers which have changed my understanding. The link is actually to a quiz on marriage law for genealogists - I wonder how many RootsChatters are willing to post their scores on this quiz?

(You can navigate from this page quite easily to the resources)

Thanks to the SOG daily digest for this link.

LOL 8/15 for me too  :)

(which I actually thought was quite good)
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.
