Marriage Notes (John Rowe)

Mary Ann's father's name is shown as James Shipley. He's actually James Deacon, conveniently re-named to disguise the fact that this marriage is technically bigamous as Mary Ann was still married to George Shipley who had been deported to Australia.OBJE: _TEXT Gloucestershire Archives; Gloucester, England; Gloucestershire Anglica
