A page from Alderton, Northamptonshire Parish Registers has 4 marriages on one page, all with the same witness. Is this unusual?
I am looking at the first one one the page 3rd Aug 1801 for Thomas Hitchman (my 4x GGF) and Mary Carvell. One of the witnesses is Richd Carvell, but he also appears as witness on the next 3 marriages in Jan 1802, May 1802 and Jun 1803.
I am trying to find Mary's baptism. There is one for Mary Carval (different spelling) with father Richd, but I'd like a bit more concrete evidence before accepting it, and was hoping her marriage witness might be her father.
