Hi Paul, I'm close to West Sussex Record Office in Chichester, so happy to see what I can find for you next time I'm in, which will probably be 5th Jan.

Sue: That's extremely kind of you. I'm most grateful. The marriage was: William BANSGROVE and Ann BENNETT at St Thomas a Becket, Pagham, Sussex on 12 February 1813. It was by Licence, and I have a transcription of this. Pagham & Tarring Peculiar, Sussex (Sussex Marriage Index). Marriage Licence. William BANSGROVE (bach, 21, pte 57th Foot Regiment) & Ann BENNETT (spin, 17, with consent of father, John BENNETT). Sponsors: William BANSGROVE, John BENNETT. (11 Feb). So it seems that William's signature may also be on the licence allegation. But if West Sussex is anything like other record offices I've visited, checking the licence for the signature will be more troublesome than just looking up the marriage.
