bullet Marriage Notes:

The marriage certificate states James was a widower and gentleman, whose father was Robert Spicer, yeoman. Ann was a spinster whose father was William Pitt, yeoman. Both were of full age, residences of Sutton Street and the witnesses were Thomas and Isabella Dowie. The marriage was by banns.
By law this was an illegal marriage between a widower and the sister of the deceased, although it was common to ignore this prohibited relationship, but might explain why they married in London rather than Dorset or Wiltshire. ¹⁸³
