• Notes

  Married: Thomas Holness widower of this parish and Mary Minter spinster of this parish, by banns. He signed, she marked. Witnesses Charles Green and Charlotte Larkin. Charlotte and Charles married the same day, and Thomas and Mary witnessed their marriage. June 2014. Thomas was said to have been a widower when he married Mary. It would appear that his first wife was Mary's sister Ann. The St Martin in the Fields marriage register (online at findmypast.co.uk) has the marriage by banns on 6 July 1834 between Thomas Holness and Mary Minter, both of this parish. Thomas signed, Mary marked. The witnesses were George Pond and Mary Anne Pryce(?), who both signed. I've compared Thomas's 1834 and 1836 signatures and although in 1834 he wrote 'T Holness' and in 1836 'Thomas Holness', the shapes of the surnames are very similar. I haven't found Ann's burial.
