    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 10 Sep 2020)
      "Banns of Marriage between Richard Issell and Elizabeth Damarell both Sojourners ..."
    Married 21 Sep 1807  St. Michael’s Church, Honiton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • I thought marriage would most likely have been at Dodbrooke but it was Honiton - what took them over there? Both were described as 'sojourners' in the Banns, which I guess is how the marriage was permitted, although their home parishes were shown in the marriage PR entry.
      From PR entries (images on FMP, viewed 10 Sep 2020)
      (there are 2 registers, one with a short pre-Hardwicke type entry, and a Hardwicke register)
      "No 222 Richard Issell of the Parish of Stockingham
