Shirley and Cheri; Thanks to both of you for helping me with this one. I do have a couple more questions though.
Do you have any idea why they have indicated a date after the priest's name? I have not seen this before. Also, at the bottom it says something like: they were joined in marriage on the 3rd of the current month but; at the top it says the 7th. Which date were they actually married? I have usually seen at the bottom something like "it was as above on the current day, month and year." I have also asked someone else for his ideas on the above but; thought it wouldn't hurt to see what others had to say so, any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Sam in CA (for 2 more days!)

He ran the "de" into "consan" which is then continued on the next line. They are 3rd cousins. The date in the middle after the Lord Bishop's name is 63. He misspelled 60 (cesenta instead of sessenta or sesenta (another misspelling or old spelling)). See your date in the top line of the document. I'll think about those occupations after the names of the fathers. I have an idea they are day laborers.
