John's marriage was witnessed by Isaiah and Maria Barnden. William, and his wife (Ann Geer), were both widowed at the time of their marriage. The second witness provides a clue as to William's first marriage. Lucy cozens witnesses - the sister of William's first wife, Sarah Cozens. William and Sarah were both non-conformist.
