    There is no abode on the section you have given, you have William Tann - Widower and Sophia Tait - Single it just states the date of the wedding, 16th September which was 1804 and St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich. can you get a bigger picture? The word after Widower looks like Precinct but I doubt it.

      That's what I thought looking at the rest, it says Peterborough. Wonder if this is better

          Think it does say Precinct. Says the same on quite a few, with other places on some. Perhaps it was the way they described "of this parish" here?

            My immediate thought was "Precinct" ??? Could it say "Resident?" It's some thing that applies to a lot of the parties on the page.

            What is the title of the original image, or the collection it comes from?

              SNAP Anne!

              A Yorkshire register I looked at recently described a lot of people as "inmate" - they weren't in an institution, it just meant "resident," (someone who lives here.)

                Yep, resident seems more visible on some and precinct on others but am not good at deciphering. It was a marriage I ordered from IGI, St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich. I have William Tann marrying a Sophia, he is from Bethnal Green and I can only find children from 1810

                Name: William Tann
                Gender: Male
                Baptism/Christening Date: 09 May 1770
                Baptism/Christening Place: SAINT MATTHEW,BETHNAL GREEN,LONDON,ENGLAND
                Father's Name: William Tann
                Father's Birthplace:
                Mother's Name: Hannah
                Parish Entry
                William of William Tann weaver and Hannah

                Thanks for having a look everyone

                  It's Precinct. You must have the Archbishop's transcript. Here's the original register (middle right)

                    Precinct refers to the environs of a Cathedral, Church etc. There is an article here



                    regarding the Cathedral Precinct of St Mary in the Marsh. What this means in the context of a marriage register I don't know but it sounds like an abode.

                      We're now rather use to the American use of the word. This is from the OED.
                      "The area within the boundaries (real or imaginary) of a particular place or building; the interior; the grounds; esp. the (consecrated) ground immediately surrounding a religious house or place of worship."

                        Elaine, while looking at this marriage entry, I looked up William Tann, resident Pulham and found another marriage to a Christiana, from 1871, you might like to look at the census for them from there, if you haven't already, they start off living in (The) Street, Pulham.

                          Thanks everyone,

                          Keldon thank you for finding the parish entry, started to look a little too late myself last night so really appreciate you finding it

                          1851 William and Sophia are in Leyton, so far have no children born in Norfolk but will have to look at baptisms later. Not absolutely sure the marriage is my couple; son Frederick 1819 is baptised as Fred but referred to as Wm Fred. sometimes.
