Notes for John & Martha (Family)
From tan image of the page in the marriage register, transcribed by me:
“ Page 100
“. . . .
“1869. Marriage solemnized at Hanley in the Parish of Stoke on Trent in the County of Stafford
“No: 200
“When married: July 6th
His Hers
“Name: John Knight Martha Platt
“Age: 34 24
“Condition: Bachelor Spinster
“Profession: Potter -
“Residence: Bow Street Dale St
“Father: Ralph Knight George Platt
“Father’s job: Potter Potter
“. . . .
“Married in the Old Church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church
“ by Banns by me: J P Sandlands
“This marriage was solemnised between us: John Knight his X mark
“ Martha Platt her X mark
“In the presence of us: Abraham Dutton, Martha Bryan
Note that one of the witnesses was Martha Bryan; this is the same surname as Martha’s mother’s maiden name at Marth’s birth registration. It adds to the proposal that Marth’s mother, Louisa, was in fact a Bryan and not at Byan, as given at her, the mother’s, marriage. That said this witness Martha Bryan is looking strongly to be a relation.
A confirmation that this was her is that Martha gave her age as 24. If her birth registration is to be believed, she was born in either !4 of 1844 or Q1 of 1845 and so her age would indeed have been 24.
