Father Samuel SPURRELL, b. Abt 1742, Meavy, Devon, England , d. 28 Oct 1831, Hall Farm, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England (Age ~ 89 years) Mother Patty REED, b. Abt 1747, Walkhampton, Devon, England , d. 27 Jul 1837, Holetown, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England (Age ~ 90 years) Banns of marriage 22 Mar 1772 to 5 Apr 1772 Walkhampton Church, Walkhampton, Devon, England - Samuel Spurrill otp and Patty Reed of the parish of Sheepstor, no additional info.

Banns of marriage 8 Mar 1772, 29 Mar 1772, 19 Apr 1772 St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England - PR with combined banns / marriage entry - shows banns unusually (in my experience) being read at 3 weekly intervals - because in this tiny place, which was not then a parish in its own right, there was only a service every 3 weeks.
No info. given as to marital status etc.

Married 22 Apr 1772 St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England - The marriage part of the combined banns / marriage entry shows that Samuel and Patty both made their marks, while Alice Reed and Peter Reed Junr. (both appear to be siblings of Patty's) signed. It would seem strange if they could write and Patty couldn't - but Samuel seems to have signed plenty of documents in Sheepstor, so I guess both could write but didn't on this occasion.
