Recieved the marriage certificate of William Cozens and Susannah Claxton this morning and thankfully was the right people what I cant understand is why they went from Abbotsbury to Poole to marry then returned would the fact that she had 1 maybe 2 children before they married this was 1841 |

Hi Katie - don't know whether this will send you on a wild goose chase or help! I have just had a similar question with a ggaunt's marriage - she was born in Bedford and lived in Bedford, but got married in London - when I asked the source the information came from I was told that although her husband was born in the same place as her, he was a groom for a family in London, hence the location of the marriage.

on the cert it says William living in Dorchester at time of mariage and susannah Poole,well actually says Susan but know its definatly mine as father William a flint cutter,so am stuck on this one if both had been living Poole could have put it down to him being a tailor there but obviously not |

Kazzie, although it never shows women with occupations, the chances are that she was working as a servant in Poole. Before couples got married, each of them would have moved around a fair bit, working for different employers, getting enough savings and life skills to set up home together. They might then be lucky enough to return to the village of their birth, but often they moved on. Anyone would think my granny stayed at home in her little Norfolk village until she married my grandfather, but they met in Surrey where she was working, then married in her home parish. B |
