R. Goodrick was over worked; having difficulties with literacy; or just feeling</div> <div> down right lazy, but there is evidence that after 11 May 1761 and before 27 December 1762, he abandoned the</div> <div> format for each entry in this marriages register, and only acquired the signatures or marks of the Grooms; Brides</div> <div> and Witnesses.  It looks as if his name is not always in the same hand either, so perhaps it wasn't him but one</div> <div> of the church wardens who he had designated to do the job on his behalf.  If Banns were read, and I emphasise that,</div> <div> I have included the dates (where given) so that you, the researcher, will know that the marriage took place sometime</div> <div> after that date.  A new curate, Rev. Edward Fisher took over conducting the marriage services from</div> <div> 27 December 1762, and records returned to normal again.</div> <div> If the Parish names were given in the Banns Register but not in the marriages register, I have included them</div> <div> in <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Red</B></FONT>, to show that.  However, after searching the Banns Register, I find that in the majority of cases,</div> <div> no record was made of banns being read at all during the period 11 May 1761 to 27 December 1762.</div> <div> There are several other differences of names or spelling which are also shown in <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Red</B></FONT>.</div> <div> If a second entry for the same couple are being quoted, the those differences wil be in <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Blue</B></FONT>.</div> <div> Entry No's.182 to 188 are duplicated on Pages 48 to 49.  The information for each one however, is different.</div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <bR> <div> Banns Registers:</div> <div> (BR#1) Before 1754   <I>If there ever was one.
