      "Sampson Bastard & Anne Bussell were marryed (by Licence) August the 24th" - under heading 'the year 1721'(No marriage licence found in those on FamilySearch, searching the April - June 1721 and July - Dec 1721 bundles (bonds and allegations). Could have been granted in a different court, or at a different time, but most likely it doesn't survive; a number in the July-Dec bundle are in poor condition, it is likely others were worse and no image or totally lost)

      The gaps between some of the children suggest that there may well have been more children, possibly recorded in registers or on pages that no longer survive.
