hi sarah, i would`t do that, any way they moved the borders of dorset and devon in the 1800 so you never no i could easerly have come from devon!! lol

That double-event marriage... It could be the same marriage - but one is a record of the Banns, not the actual event? Did they come from different parishes? The marriage would (probably, not definitely) have been in the bride's parish - assuming that's an option! Christine
