Widworthy marriage entries

Post by Mick Loney »

We all complain when Baptisn entries just refer to father’s name, with no mention of mother’s name.

The vicar of Widworthy, Devon in 1600’s took it a step further when it came to entering marriages, he show a typical marriage as ‘John Snell and his wife Christian were married on ….’!

Talk about making it hard for genealogists :lol:
