This couple married in 1840 at the parish church of St Mary Major, Exeter. William is recorded as a widower, a labourer of Guinea Street within this small parish. Nancy is recorded as a widow, also of Guinea Street. They both made their mark rather than signing the register.
No previous marriage has been found for Nancy and her date of birth is not known. She is described as ‘of full age’ (i.e. over 21) on the marriage certificate, and as there appear to have been no children from the marriage she might have been over child-bearing age in 1840.
