Marriages
1.

solemnised

by Malthus

at Walesby

21st May 1804, he himself having been married on 12th April.
The couple were Thomas Hodgson of North Willingham Parish, and
Elizabeth Wright of Walesby.
The entry starts with a hash of crossing out, and K then makes
exactly the same mistake as he made at Albury on 3rd October 1793 writes "by me Thomas Robert llalthus.
Rector" instead of "by Banns",
and has to cross it out and sign again in the proper place.
The couple were illiterate,
and so was one of the witnesses,
Catherine Drake; John Robinson signs his name in a childish
hand.
(N.B. I think the Walesby registers
at ·this time were all written
by the incumbents or curates,
not clerks).•
22nd May 1804
J4ark Lacy of the parish

of North Willingham

This time the entry is in order, T. Robert Malthus Rector.
The couple were illiterate,
