Commentary

Alice’s place of residence at the time of her marriage, Watermeetings, was the name of a farm in the possession of a Hargreaves family in the 1600s, but so far it has not proven possible to establish a connection. (Hargreaves is a very common name in the area.) A Paul Hargreaves, a hatmaker from Newchurch, -- probably the son of William Hargreaves of Hapton, Padiham, farmer, and Catherine his wife -- was married on the same day as Alice. Thomas Stuttard was a witness. Paul was also a witness at the wedding of Richard Stuttard's sister Tabitha.
