[WED]Fisher/Duckett, Bristol marriages.

[Mathew Ducket]

Thanks Lyn, unless this child did not survive, it would appear to be Ann,
baptised in Wedmore on 14 8 1811.  Edward and Honour were not married until
15 10 1814 at St. John's Bedminster in Bristol. This is the direct line of
T.E. Duckett,  the author of the family history. Other children were George
1815, William 1817, Charles 1824, & (H)Ester 1826.
Bristol marriages may be of more general interest. I have 19 (nineteenth
century) with a Duckett name, 17 have a definite Wedmore connection, 1 is
doubtful and 1 is definitely  not Wedmore related. None of these were "of
Wedmore" on the record, despite the fact that they never appear to have left
the parish. Clearly some could have been servants in Bristol for a short
period of their lives, but I don't believe this to be the rule. There are
two other reasons for "big city" marriages, one is to distract from an
illegitimate child, the other is for social reasons, i.e.  to do something
different. If any of you looking at other families, & can't find a marriage,
you might consider looking at the Bristol parishes. I have found the
following parishes to be popular; St. James, St. John's Bedminster, St.
Paul's, St Peter's, St. Phillip & St. Jacob, St. Mary Redcliffe, & Temple.
Note some of these parishes lost most or part of their records during W.W.
2.
Matthew.
