Part 721am - Smith McCullogh Genealogy - 1801 Bond of Marriage - GGGGG-Grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge - York, England

Good Day,

Following up to Part 653am I continue the search and research of the genealogy of the Aldridge Family Line.



I have been able to discover the 30 May 1801 Bond of Marriage of 5-times great-grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge. From what I read the Marriage took place "in the Minster in Beverley Parish".

The following are images of the two pages as downloaded from Item 1 of the microfilm FHL [1469549] Marriage Bonds and Allegations for the Diocese of York, 1618-1887.

And my transcription... (The English teacher of my past life comes to fore when I found two published typeset typos.)
