Fact: No European country prohibits marriage between first cousins. It is also legal throughout Canada and Mexico to marry your cousin. The USA is the only western country with cousin marriage restrictions |

Gawd the airwaves are slow this morning .... just had a struggle getting back in! I'm sure I read some CofE 'rules' somewhere about who could marry who. Will have a google for it. Just getting worried about this lot in the small villages of Suffolk ......! Annie |

I'm not aware that first cousins have ever been forbidden to marry.........may be wrong, of course! Reg |

Reggie, Yes, they did marry each other! That's baffling me a bit at the moment - first cousins weren't allowed to do that then, were they? Trying to work out exactly what their relationship was. Thanks for battling with Ancestry on my behalf. Regs Annie |

Any chance someone could look at 1851 and 1841 for Thomas SOUTHGATE b abt 1812? Also Elizabeth SOUTHGATE b abt 1820? They should be in different families in the Coomb area of Stow Reg District. Many thanks Annie |
