  Father	Richard WHITEHEAD,   b. Abt 1739,   d. Sep 1830, Stockbury, Kent, England  (Age ~ 91 years) Other Partners: Ann STOCKWELL;   Rachael WOOD
  Mother	Mary GRIGSBY,   b. Abt 1756, Hucking, Kent, England ,   d. 27 Oct 1840, Stockbury, Kent, England  (Age ~ 84 years)
  Banns of marriage	From 11 Sep 1774 to 25 Sep 1774
  	From register entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jul 2019)
  Married	20 Feb 1776	St. Mary Magdalene’s Church, Stockbury, Kent, England   [2]
  	From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 20 Jul 2019) It is interesting that the marriage took place so long after the banns were read - about 18 months later. (were the banns still valid? - to be checked) Mary was a minor and Richard seems to have been some years older so perhaps her parents did not consent at first. She was still a minor when they did marry, but being about 6 months pregnant at the time perhaps further resistance seemed hopeless! It seems unlikely that they would have been too bothered about her being pregnant and not married - her mother had an illegitimate child and then was about six months pregnant with another when she did marry, and two of Mary's sisters went on to  have 3 illegitimate children between them, and one was also about 6 months pregnant at marriage.
