Are you sure the one below is a marriage as  the line above is a burial? Maybe you could show a bit more of the page? cb
No, you are right, it says nupt, so it must be a marriage. What about Eli or Elias for his name though I am surprised that the vicar has ended a male name with an a, claytonbradley

Hi,
my take would be Elcana. Are there any more instances in the family

That's how I've always seen it spelled, not as Elcana (that's my excuse for not recognising it!) cb
