- Date and place of marriage not certain, however the marriage licence shows it was to be in Canterbury; marriages in Canterbury were often on the day that the licence was issued.
It gives an option of 2 churches; the marriages registers for St. Margaret's for this period are online - it appears NOT to have been there. That suggests it was at the other, St. Mary Bredin (PR entries for this church at this period not found online)
