There is a marriage permission slip on ebay for the marriage of George McCausland to Mary Shelley signed by her father, James Shelley, in August 1823. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2188249474& ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 In case anyone is interested in this the auction closes until August 24, 2003. Just came across this as I was going thru ebay and thought this might be of interest to anyone researching McCausland or Shelley. Connie Cotterill Schumaker Schumaker4@aol.com
