Just received a copy of the marriage record of James HAINES to Ann SEGER,at St Thomas Portsmouth on 12 April 1801, married by Banns. Both are "Ignaisnea" which I gather means "not of this parish". Can anyone help with the following queries or offer advice. 1. Any ideas as to why they should chose to marry outside of a parish where one of them lived - according to 1851 Census, Ann Seger was born in Alverstoke & James Haines/Hines was born in St Andrew Wilts. (there is no St Andrews but 3 ----- St Andrew in Wiltshire) 2. Where would the Banns have been called? St Thomas Portsmouth & their "home" parishes? The witnesses are Stephen HATCH & Fanny ADAMS, in case anyone has a connection with those names. Rita
