Married Abt 27 Oct 1670 St. Stephen’s Church, Lympne, Kent, England - The marriage info assumes the marriage proceeded as suggested by the licence (Dorothy's subsequent marriage shows it did take place)
A marriage licence was issued earlier in 1670 (June) for the marriage of Thomas Smithson, also recorded as yeoman of Lympne and a widower. While it's possible that it was a different Thomas (e.g. father or uncle) it seems to me most likely that it was the same Thomas.
Four months seems an unlikely time for a marriage, being widowed and arranging another marriage so I suspect the marriage permitted by the earlier licence did not for some reason proceed.
(Licence index info. for the earlier event:
Smithson, Thomas, of Lympne, yeom., widr., and Mary Bell of Lydd, w. of Abel Bell, late s. p. At S. Margt., Cant. John Greenland of Lympne, chirurgeon, bonds. June 30, 1670. p.432 Cowper, Third series of Canterbury Marriage Licences on KFHS CD 18 (PDF p. 114) )
