I was just looking up a marriage on Pallots and for the first time I've seen a line claiming to be the residence of the couple, but what on earth does "Hamlet M.E.N.T." mean? the parish is Stepney, St Dunstan the year 1796, Any ideas?

I think Barbara is right:

Lucky you! Pallot's usually doesn't give much more than a date, church and names.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy

I was lucky with Pallot's recently, too, because it actually gave the husband's occupation (it said he was in the Royal Artillery, which presumably explains what he was doing in Kent, when he should have been in Leicester). I'd seen the same marriage several times on the IGI, and discounted it, but it's looking like it may be the right one.

It's solved a real mystery for me, because that Richard Pool from Leicester married a Letitia, and I had another Richard Pool, 20 years younger, born in Deal, Kent, but living in Leicester, with a daughter Letitia. I was sure they must be related, but I couldn't see how. The second Letitia was the mother-in-law of my grandfather's sister, whose great-grandfather was the older Richard Pool. So (if you can follow all that) it looks as though my grandfather's sister actually married her second cousin.

My husband's gt gt grandfather John Ledger remarried after his first wife died. 2nd wife was Letitia Bethell. Letitia's sister Mary was married to a Henry Mullins and their daughter Emily Mullins (Letitia's niece) married John's son William by his first wife.
I was so confused when I found this out that I had to draw out a tree to work it out!
I vaguely remember my m-i-l (gt granddaughter of William & Emily) mentioning "Letitia Ledger" as an example of a lovely sounding name, but I didn't take much notice. I wish I'd listened as she may have had some further information about her!~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy

I think it says on the image "Ann Hokeman s x", which presumably means she was a spinster and made her mark. I can't see the number 142 anywhere.Last edited by Mary from Italy; 13-01-08, 23:55.

Looking at the image, it says "Allington Chas. b. (Both Rat.)" with the A of Allington underlined. Underneath it says "(sd) (sic) or Ellington" b means bachelor, and I think sd means that he signed his name rather than making his mark. The "sic" probably means "yes, it does say Allington on the original", but maybe his name is spelt in two different ways on the marriage entry?
(The corresponding entry indexed under Hokeman gives the groom's name as Chas Ellington (sd Allington) so I believe it means that the marriage entry says "Chas Ellington" at the top but the signature says Chas Allington.)
Then "= Ann Hokeman s. x". s will mean spinster, and I think the x means she made her mark with an x.
ST DUNSTAN STEPNEY 1794.
142 is at the bottom and is some kind of index number - perhaps the number of the entry in the parish register or something?
I agree with Mary, "Both Rat" probably means they both lived in Ratcliff.KiteRunner
