    The odd thing is that the husband's name (Drake Wm.) is surname first and the wife's (Cathe Porter) looks as if it's first name first.

    Just for ref. for those without Ancestry, It's a Pallot's Marriage Index for T. St. My, Whitechapel 1828.

    And there are no likely William Drake marriages in the IGI. BIVRI, anyone?

        Val, it was quite common for people to use abbreviations when transcribing. Think how Ancestry clearly has county abbreviations for the census.

            I assume you've got the right names in 1841 etc.
