Family John ELLIOT, d. 1793 Banns of marriage 19 Apr 1761 South Milton, Devon, England [3] Married 2 Jun 1761 St. Mary’s Church, Charleton, Devon, England [4] - The DFHS Woodleigh Deanery CD shows there was also a marriage of a DENNIS, John to SUMPTER, Mary in E Allington on 3 Aug 1761, but as the Charleton marriage shows Mary as of Charleton I think it was much more likely to be this one. Also the Mary who married John Elliot gave a daughter the relatively unusual name Cecilia, like Mary's mother.

The DFHS marriage include some banns only, and since this marriage was clearly at Charleton I'm sure this must be one such entry. - [S210] Charleton - St. Mary’s Church - m/f images, St. Mary’s Church (Charleton, Devon), Marriage of John ELLIOT to Mary SUMPTER 1761; DE/REG/57867/1-8 m/f 6 (Reliability: 3).
