Working through them and finding it interesting. In the 1700's they do not give the date of marriage , only the date of the proclamation of Banns.
The entries, on the whole, are very good in that they give the names and abodes of the people who provided bail or were Cautioners for the couple. Will have to wait to see how they are recorded after 1760
Up to at least 1764 there are no records of anyone actully getting married though I assume most did as the Cautioners would have lost their money if the couple did not
