- Was the marriage of this Grace? I think it probably was though (1) I haven't found the death of a John PONTEN to fit (only checked SFHG database); (2) Grace should have been recorded as Grace Ponten when she married in 1773, unless this marriage had been shown to be void for some reason (in which case there would be no need for the death of a John Ponten).
I don't believe she could have got away with a bigamous marriage in 1773 with it being, like this one, in the tiny parish of West Stoke.
