I have found a parish record on familyhistory.online for the marriage of my 6x grandfather, Richard Hall to a Sarah Dagnell in 1733. In the brides notes it says; 'Dau in law of bondsman Robert Barlow, St Giles, Reading.' Anyone come across this before? Haven't got the foggiest what it means. Adam. |

It could be she was adopted by Robert Barlow |

She is probably the step-dau of Robert Barlow who would probably be putting up the bond as they were probably married either by licence or was under age. |

Adam - hope this is of interest from the following site: www.genealogy.about*.*com/library/glossary/bldef-marriagebond.htm ''In earlier times, a marriage bond was given to the court by the intended groom prior to his marriage. It affirmed that there was no moral or legal reason why the couple could not be married and it also affirmed that the groom would not change his mind. If he did, and did not marry the intended bride, he would forfeit the bond. The bondsman, or surety, was often a brother or uncle to the bride, not necessarily a parent. The bondsman could also be related to the groom, or even be a neighbor or friend, but those situations occurred less often.'' Joy |

Joy, Thank you for the information. I am hoping now to find a connection between Robert Barlow and Sarah, it could be his step-daughter, Adam |
