Browsing the Marriage Licences - without much luck - I came across the following
Page 278
Freeman Ralph bachelor aged about 10 years and Dorothy Dycer aged 8 years and upwards, her parents dead, with consent of her Grandfather, Richard Goulston of Widdiall, co Herts esq. who alleges - at Widdiall, Austry, or Aspendon Herts
5 July 1676 F
Does this mean they were betrothed rather than about to be married? I wonder why they would do that?
