My transcript of the page of the parish register:
No 636 Frederick Augustus Wetherall of this Parish Batchelor and Elizabeth Mitton of the same parish spinster Married in this Church by Licence this fourteenth Day of June in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and One by me John Wetherall Rector of Fishbourne Supra
This marriage was solemnised between Us [signed] Fredck Aug Wetherall Elizabeth Mitton
In the presence of Frances Mitton T A Atwood.
_________________
FindMyPast’s transcript identifies ‘This Church’ as St Margaret’s Westminster. I wonder if the witness Frances Mitton was in fact Elizabeth’s mother? The celebrant was highly probably the groom’s brother.
_________________
Nevertheless the marriage causes one little problem: their elder children were born out of wedlock. Unless there was an earlier marriage at a foreign posting whose record has been lost. Or was this a second marriage?

Mar 2020, TFPL: Just had a re-read of Fred McCrea’s book of the Wetheralls. He says that Frederick and Elizabeth were married in Salisbury in 1781. He does not mention this 1801 marriage. The 1781 marriage is not in any registers that I have found. McCrea says that Elizabeth Mitton was the daughter of George Mytton and that she had three sisters “one married a Colonel de Beauvoir of Penton, Hamptshire, another married a William Dent, and Frances married Rogers Wetherall, a cousin of Sir Frederick’s and who was known in in the family as “Uncle Hodge” and his wife as “Aunt Fanny” of whom, already related”.
