Marriage confusion
Familysearch has this marriage
12 Dec 1710 Stephen Frost & Mary Emmerson, St. George Tombland, Norwich, Norfolk. The transcription gives the ages of Stephen as 29 and Mary 27. I went to the images of St George Tombland marriage register to get details - and I can't find it. Relevant image for 1710 here: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3....58102,30010001 Image 56. Can anyone see this?

I can't see it on that page.

The details for the film number in the FamilySearch catalogue are as follows:
Items 1 - 6: Parish registers for St. George-Tombland's Church, Norwich, 1538-1945 Author: Church of England. St. George-Tombland Church (Norwich, Norfolk); Norfolk and Norwich Record Office (Norwich, England) Items 7-10: Marriage licence bonds for Norwich Diocese, Norfolk Archdeaconry Court, 1670-1886 Author: Church of England. Archdeaconry of Norfolk. Court; Norfolk and Norwich Record Office (Norwich, England) So I suspect that the entry you are asking about is actually taken from the Marriage licence bonds, and not from the St George Tombland parish register, and FamilySearch's software has messed up somewhere. You would be much more likely to find ages given on a marriage licence bond than a parish register marriage entry at that date. |

Thanks KiteRunner (to the rescue as usual). But if it isn't in the register does that mean they didn't get married? Or got married elsewhere? Or was it just not recorded?

I was looking through the marriage bonds and getting nowhere, but then I remembered that FreeREG have done a lot of Norfolk records, so I looked on there and they have the marriage listed under St Mary & All Saints, Sculthorpe, date 12 Dec 1710. Let me know if you find it (or not) in the Sculthorpe PR's!
Of course, the PR entry probably won't give as much info as the marriage bond, but I don't know how to find it in the marriage bonds on FamilySearch other than by browsing through - I tried using the page number from the info as the image number, but that wasn't it. |

Ah, I finally realised the page numbers were written on the images and slightly out of sync with the image numbers, so here is the marriage bond:

Yes, found the marriage in Sculthorpe. Why does it have the same date as the marriage allegation? And what has St George Tombland got to do with Sculthorpe?

Quote:
St George Tombland has nothing to do with the marriage - FamilySearch's software has just messed up, as I said before. The microfilm has St George Tombland parish registers on it as well as the marriage bonds for Norwich Archdeaconry, and their software has somehow assigned the parish name to the marriage bonds although there is no connection. |

Oh, thanks. That probably explains why I keep finding parish records under Hunworth on familysearch, when they are in Langham!
Well, now I have found Mary Emmerson's baptism and with her parents' names am back yet another generation. Thanks again KR!
