Elizabeth Oxley of this Parish (Kirkburton)
Married in this Church by Banns
this 23 Day of September 1811 By me O. Lodge Curate
Both by their mark

I'd like a check please to see if John Hardcastle appears as a witness on many of the entries before and after this one.

Thanks,

Dave

He was a witness to Hannah Oxley's marriage and a marriage after James and Elizabeth. Three marriages on the same day.
The fourth marriage at the bottom of the page was 7th October, interestingly witnessed by a John Armitage, but no John Hardcastle.

Thanks Amanda.

This is just a small part of a larger puzzle. Trying to decide if Elizabeth and Hannah are sisters by showing John Hardcastle was a friend or somehow related to the parties and not some parish clerk or whatever who witnessed lots of marriages.
