Was there a special awayday deal on these? I have several couples getting married in Yarmouth reg district although they lived in East Norfolk near the marshes.

My gt gt grandfather had two sisters, Mary and Sarah Gray who helpfully married men with unusual names - Daniel Rudrum and William Gillingwater. Mary and Sarah married within 3 months of eachother and only one other wedding separates their entries in the marriage register. They were both witnesses at eachother's weddings. They had large families - Sarah had 13! - and they had several offspring who married in Yarmouth area. Several of the brothers/sisters and cousins with their partners witnessed eachothers weddings and one of Mary's sons married one of Sarah's daughters. nell

I'm thinking maybe they combined the wedding with a short seaside honeymoon? Though several of them moved to Yarmouth presumably because the work opportunities were better, a lot returned to Hardley to be buried. nell
