Hello Peter George SKINNER married Catherine CLARKE on 27 May 1776 at St Mary's church in Bury St Edmunds (Thingoe Deanery). The Suffolk FHS marriage indexes (http://www.suffolkfhs.co.uk/osc/index.php?cPath=31_38) make life a lot easier for us nowadays, but I'm afraid there are still times when I don't get round to looking at this mailing list more than once a fortnight!

I am accustomed to seeing a named parish designated as place and have not encountered this before. Is anyone able to shed any light please? Clearly the parish name would be ideal! Peter Knott

Hello David Thank you for your input. Their children were baptised at St Mary's Bury St Edmunds so that marriage location fits perfectly. Bury is of course within the Archdeaconry of Sudbury but there does not appear to be any substantive reason why new FamilySearch has listed the marriage in that way. Listers have suggested that the marriage might have been by licence or that the LDS record was taken from Bishops Transcripts. LDS Help in response to my query merely reported back to me the facts that I had given them!
