Good Day, Following up to Part 653am I continue the search and research of the genealogy of the Aldridge Family Line. I have been able to discover the 30 May 1801 Bond of Marriage of 5-times great-grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge. From what I read the Marriage took place "in the Minster in Beverley Parish". The following are images of the two pages as downloaded from Item 1 of the microfilm FHL [1469549] Marriage Bonds and Allegations for the Diocese of York, 1618-1887. And my transcription... (The English teacher of my past life comes to fore when I found two published typeset typos.)
