Notes on transcription

• "als." is the abbreviation for alias. The bride is recorded as Ann Quayle alias Hodgson: Quayle her married surname, Hodgson her earlier — presumably maiden — surname.
• Her mark is identified as that of "Ann Callister late Quayle," confirming she entered this marriage as the widow Quayle.
• This record establishes Ann's father as William Hodgson, labourer — a particularly valuable lead for tracing her origins.
