Marriage Notes for JAMES LEIGH and JANE POWNALL:
Marriage at Bowden church.
James Lee of Cheadle & Jane Pownall of this parish 4 July 1787 witness Tho Booth & Willm Yarwood
The marriage of James Lee and Jane Pownall is recorded on 4 July 1787. Witnesses were Francis Booth and Willm Yarwood. The service was conducted by Croxton Johnson as Officiating Minister. I have no indication of who he was as this is the only marriage he officiated at.
Francis Booth was the Parish Clerk and Willm Yarwood was another person who often witnessed marriages. In those days it was often difficult to find persons who could write their name to be witnesses and the Parish Clerk often performed this service.
There is no record of Jane's baptism in our records.
