1767, Phillimore Marriage Registers for Marriage of Jonathan Ward and Susanna Gilson

  • Spouse:

  • Jonathan Ward (1746- )

  • Children:

  • Jonathan Ward (1772- )

  • Marriage:

  • 12 Jan 1767

  • All Hallows Parish Church2

  •  

  • Address: Tottenham, Middlesex

    The couple were married twice; on 25 Dec 1766 and 12 Jan 1767 because of a clerical error in the first set of Banns which were published on 7, 14 and 21 Dec 1766 with the groom's name shown as Wade instead of Ward. The Minister obviously considered that the first marriage was invalid because the Banns had been recorded in the name of Wade. Whether they were read out in church using 'Ward' or 'Wade' is not known. However if 'Wade' was used it is surprising that no one brought it to the Minister's attention as it was normal for the couple and their families to be present. The Banns using the correct surname were called on 28 Dec 1766 and 4 and 11 Jan 1767. Who was present when the Banns were called and who attended the weddings is not known.
