Dear Listers, I must apologise if this is a repeat message but the previous one which I tried to send didn't appear in my in-box. So, please bear with me. John SIMS of Bradford, Wilts was the bondsman for the marriage of Thomas PENNY and Elizabeth MARKS on 13th November 1798. This suggests that either the bride or the groom had connections in Bradford. If anyone knows anything relevant to this or the identity of John SIMS I would love to hear. Thanks, Maurice Snowdon in Sheffield
