The transcribed data show the marriage was recorded as that of Sarah Gothem to George Thomas
"George Thomas of the Parish
of Plymouth - Mariner
and Sarah Gothen of this Parish
Spinster
were married in thie Church by Licencewith Consent of
Both of age this twenty third Day of
August in the Year One thousand eight hundred and twenty nine
By me Edmund Duncan Rhules - Curate
This Marriage was solemnized between us George Thomas, Sarah Gothem
In the Presence of Mary Heath, John Brien, G Daimond
No. 264."
Mary Heath was probably Sarah's mother, though could have been her sister, G Daimond was probably the Parish Clerk as he witnessed most marriages in West Teignmouth at this time, I don't know who John Brien was.
The date seems to be before that of the marriage licence, which clearly it can't have been, but from its position in the register I think the date of the licence is wrong - see notes attached to that event.
Marriage License 21 Sep 1829 - Shows that Geo. Thomas of Plymouth, mariner obtained a Licence for a marriage in the Church of W Teignmouth between him and Sarah Gothen, Spinster, making Oath that Sarah had her usual place of abode in the said Parish [West Teignmouth] for at least the past 15 days.
Clearly the date of marriage licence or marriage as I show them here has to be wrong. I thought the marriage might be meant to be 23 Sept, but looking in the register there are several recorded after it later in August and in September before 23rd, so it would seem that is correct.
The year on the marriage licence is not clear; there is a small circle with a blob of ink below, so it could be 1828 or 1829. While 1828 is a possibility, most did not leave it so long before marrying, so maybe the clerk who filled the form in entered the wrong month.
