Hi everyone, Just to add a little more to this one. I've rechecked the photocopies I have taken of the original Oldbury PRs up to 1740. I can report that there is definitely NOT an entry for the marriage of Jane to Nathaniel CHAPPELL registered in 1725. The Registers around this time are a little patchy with no entries for the years just prior to 1724 and they only restart again properly in late 1724. There also seems to be a gap with no entries between the burial of John Harris on 29/04/1724 and the burial of Timothy Sumpsion of Leicester on 16/04/1725. It could be that whereas the original PRs are lacking, BTs are in existence which fill in some of the gaps. Either that or the marriage did not take place in Oldbury. The relevant entry for the Sarah Bence marriage reads "Nathaniell Chappell of this Parish & Sarah Bence of ye Parish of Alderley were married banns being Publishd Jan: 24: 1731-2 Can't help with the which Nathaniel married who question. Would looking at the names of children help?
