@GenealogyJude @ChalfontR @JenniPh @Workhouses @GwentArchives One other thought - was the register office in the workhouse? I've come across a few examples of this.

Genealogy Jude@GenealogyJude·20 Eyl

@ChalfontR @JenniPh @ProfProbert @Workhouses @GwentArchives Yes, I’m not sure I have seen one before. Thanks very much for your input.

Hannah Denner appears before the Superintendent Registrar of Abergavenny at the Register Office on 3 October 1871 and declares that there is no impediment to her forthcoming marriage. This is in the workhouse documents for Gwent. Thoughts? @ProfProbert @ChalfontR @Workhouses

@ChalfontR @AllThoseBefore @_george_hall_ Yes, it was s 162 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 which gave superintendent registrars the power to require evidence of name, age, marital status and nationality.

English

Antony Marr@ChalfontR·29 May

@AllThoseBefore @_george_hall_ The requirement for evidence to prove ID when marrying (in E/W) is a quite recent introduction (1990s I think ?@ProfProbert would know exactly ) - even today doesn't have to be a birth cert - passport is often used. #Genealogy #CivilRegistration #AncestryHour

George Hall 🌹@_george_hall_·28 May

Very specific question #AncestryHour. Leaving out the details but does anyone know the process of getting a marriage in a registry office in the 1940s? (1943 to be exact) Would you need to provide proof of identity? E.g. birth certs

@ByYourBedside @HKW1981 Mark Searle and Kenneth W Stevenson, Documents of the Marriage Liturgy (The Liturgical Press 1992) is the book that you need! - it sets out the precise wording used at different times and in different traditions.

Books By Your Bedside@ByYourBedside·23 Nis

@HKW1981 Ah that's true. I hadn't even thought of the changes that might have made. Google black hole it is, I think 🤔

English

Books By Your Bedside@ByYourBedside·23 Nis

History buffs or 500-year-olds*: were UK wedding vows more or less the same in the 1500s as they are now? *I'm trying to avoid going down a Google black hole in which I look at everything other than wedding vows.

@BarbaraRich_law @LauraSRobinson @jamessflee @JudithFreedman @LesleyEvansCW On widows inheriting property in 1749 - there are no restrictions on women owning property unless they are married, so no need for a trust in this case. And it was not uncommon for a widow to be left land as well as money.

18th century friends... does anyone know what the legal/financial implications would be if a woman inherited a property/business from her husband but the property was mortgaged?
