Wow. That is wonderful, Don't know how I managed so many searches for one person. Any way, Thanks that will be very useful

Thanks all. I have Jane and Samuels Marriage Licence. This gives me her father as John and her "age 18 years and upwards" . Both John Richardson and Samuel Varley signed their names. That would mean she was born c 1754 not 1749 as the Jane I had found in Aysgarth (Father John). Problem now is I cannot find a birth to meet this new date . Help again please.
Just had another thought. Jane's daughter Betty was left money in Ralph Richardson's will when he died in 1838. Unfortunately his will did not state what relation she was to him.

"age 18 years and upwards"

Over 18 years of age, if she was born 1749, she would be over 18.

Thanks Bert. She would only need her parents permission if she was below the age of majority, which at those times was 21. I think they say over 18 because it would be very unlikely she would be exactly 18. (Some weeks and months etc) For Samuel it says over 21, so his parents did not need to consent. I do hope that is correct. Thanks again Bert.
I have found a couple of Jane Richardson born c 1754, but the nearest is born in Alston Cumberland, which is some way away. I wish they would stay still. It does say on the licence that Jane had lived in the parish of Aysgarth," for the space of four weeks last past".

On www.dalesgenealogy.com you can download Aysgarth Parish Register of baptisms. Interestingly John has a daughter Alice in 1754 did something happen to the daughter Jane born 1749 and Alice became Jane?

There seem to a lot of Richardsons in the area and I would look at them more closely.

How old was Ralph Richardson when he died? There is a Ralph in the Paris register baptised 1778 son of Ralph is this the same Ralph? He would be related in some way to Jane.

You can get a licence even if it is were you actually live. Was she pregnant when they got married? If yes that's problem why they went for the licence.

Thanks Hilary for that site. I had not found it. I found lots of children of John and Elizabeth Varley. The Richardson children were fewer in number from anc. But your Alice did not show up. I will investigate the death of the first Jane,
As for Samuel and Jane they married in 1772 September and the first child I have found was baptised September 1773 in Burton. (Aysgarth). From that, I don't think she was pregnant. (Unless she lost it) Even if she had been pregnant, would they have given age as over 18 if she was really 23? Any way off to look at that site now. Thanks Hillary

Bit of a break through with Ralph. (With the will). From the site you found for me together with Family search, I found Ralph (the younger) b 1778 father Ralph (the Elder) who married Rachel Drummond in 1807. All these took place in Burton or Aysgarth. There is an older Ralph s/o Matthew Burton 1730. Back to the will, I think it says he was a yeoman??
Any way back to my pieces of paper so I can find how they are all linked. Thanks again Hillary.
