Found a marriage document - help!
« on: Thursday 09 January 25 21:19 GMT (UK) »
I have found a marriage document for two of my ancestors but it is so hard to decipher I'm not sure what sort of document it is, who is getting married, and what most of it says!

I have attached them below - can anyone make any sense of them?

Am I right in believing the marriage is between Samuel Hicklin and Elizabeth Fearn - Samuel's parents are Samuel and Ann (a widow)?

It is a marriage licence.
The marriage was between Samuel Hicklin and Elizabeth Fearn. 6 Feb 1767
She was age 22, but Samuel was aged 20 (underage) which is why his mother Ann Hicklin, a widow, is required to give permission. His father is not named on the document.

No information concerning Samuel Hicklin's father is contained in either the allegation (54321.jpeg) or the bond (3432.jpeg).
