1759 marriage allegation/bond of Daniel King & Anna Jex

[jonwicken]

Hello I am trying to find the marriage allegation/bond of Daniel King & Anna Jex who married at Blythburgh on 11 October 1759

The marriage is on Ancestry here:

He was of Bulcamp which was an extra-parochial place and so I am not sure if this means he could have got the licence from a variety of places.

It appears both he and his wife were minors, but I need the allegation to see how old he was.

There are two baptisms of Daniel King in East Bergholt in 1738 and 1740, sons of Daniel, so I am trying to work out if the first one died (although there is no burial for the first Daniel).

His 1812 burial shows he was 74 so the 1738 baptism matches his declared age at death, but not sure how this can all work.

Any help finding the marriage licence would be helpful.

Thank you,
Jon

One of the witnesses is a Thomas King.

How does he fit in - perhaps a brother?

ADDED
It doesn't say Daniel is a minor just Anna Jex.

It's 41 miles from East Bergholt to Blythburgh  a bit too far away?

Bulchamp was an area within the Blythburgh

Blythburgh is in Suffolk - contact the County Archive.

Suffolk Record Office seems to have two general
References for their collections:- Number: FAA/23 Covering Dates: 1663-1859

Description:
FAA:50/2/77 marriage licence bonds 1663 - 1678

Sometimes the Genealogical Society (SofG / SOG) has some items filmed for various counties, but they charge too I believe.

I think Lambeth Palace Archives hold some too?

Some Registers of Marriages make no mention of Widower or Widow, occupation, nor age, so the Licence Allegations and Bonds can be highly useful for this information.

On his second marriage in 1771, one of the witnesses is a John King, could he also be a brother?

There's a marriage of a Samuel King of the parish of Bulcamp in 1772 in Sotherton, (where all Daniel's children by both wives are baptised). Daniel King is a churchwarden there.

It says "with consent of guardians" at the end, which made me think it was not just Anna Jex who was a minor. Would she have had more than one guardian that needed to give permission do you think? Perhaps if her father was dead and there was a will maybe?

I am trying to work this out myself. I thought he could be a brother of Daniel King.

The witness signatures of Thomas King on this 1759 marriage and the marriage of Thomas King of Blythburgh in 1769 at St Mary, Huntingfield to Bridget Stannard appear to be the same.

This would mean Thomas was presumably over 21 and born before c1738.

This does not fit in with the marriage of Daniel King's parents Daniel King and Judith Higham/Hyam in 1737 and the baptisms of their children. So not sure yet.
