    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 6 Nov 2014)
      "James Gottom & Elizabeth Smith were published three several Sundays according ot the Act in that case made
      No. 336 James Gottom of this Parish and Elizabeth Smith of this Parish were
      Married in this Church by Banns
      this Twentieth Day of August in the Year One Thousand Seven Hun-
      dred and Eighty Two by me Joshua Gilpin
      This Marriage was solemnized between Us James Gottom's + Mark, Elizabeth Smith's mark \\
      In the Presence of Thomas Nunnerly's mark X, Fran: Smith"

      Large gap between their known children baptised in 1790 and 1797; I guess that Margaret  who had an illegitimate daughter baptised in 1824 was one of their children, born in this gap.
