Hi all, the PRs for Dedham show only one marriage registered between 1668 and 1681. Is anyone aware why this is the case? The Register states that after 1733 there are few marriages because on the Vicar was also Vicar at Higham and Langham but nothing is mentioned for this period. Many thanks in advance.

Possibly soon after the demise of the Commonwealth. No one to take charge of the parish, or a reluctance on the part of the parish to accept someone new. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
