Notes for Anthony & Henrietta (Family)
From FamilySearch:
Name Anthony Chester
Birth Date 1813
Age 21
Spouse's Name Henrietta Brown
Spouse's Birth Date 1813
Spouse's Age 21
Event Date 15 May 1834
Event Place Shiplake, Oxford, England
The birth dates and ages are obvious misinterpretations of "full age" or suchlike.
In addition the transcripts by Oxford FHS report that the marriage was by licence; as yet I do not know which episcopal office provided this.
I have asked the Oxford Record Office for a scan of the marriage register.
The scan gives the following:
Groom: The revered Anthony Chester of the parish of Hillingdon in the County of Middlesex, Bachelor.
Bride: Henrietta Brown, spinster
Place: Shiplake, Oxon
Marr by: Licence
Marr date: 4 June 1834
Celebrant: Henry Brown MS Revd
Signature: ‘Anthony Chester’, ‘Henrietta Brown’
Witnesses: James Brown, C S Radcliffe
Record No: 87
The celebrant, Henry Brown, was probably her cousin, younger son of George Brown and, later, rector of Woolwich.
The witness James Brown may have been the younger, unmarried brother of her father.
