Marriage Bonds (as seen here) are part of the process of applying for a Marriage License. The issue for the authorities is that no banns are read publicly, hence no opportunity for anyone to say, "Hey, those two shouldn't marry." To balance this out, the Marriage License increases the impact of any "illegal" marriage effectively by imposing a massive penalty ...

First, Sarah Penrod is indicated as living in 1807 by the property description saying that adjacent to the west of the property being deeded is "the messuage, land of plantation whereon Mrs. Sarah Penrod now lives and occupies".
There is nothing indicating when Sarah Penrod's death may have taken place. The last paragraph, made in 1812, has nothing to do ...

No, it is dangerous to speculate that Joseph may have been the father. Although it is not stated what these "papers" are, I suspect these records are bastardy bonds. Joseph was simply a bondsman.
Bastardy bonds existed to prevent the parish from having to pay for the upkeep of an illegitimate child. Typically the bastardy bond would bind the reputed father (...

It is difficult question because of the not well working archive system in Russia.
I believe that such books are hold in the "Российском Государственном историческом архиве Дальнего Востока" in the Vladivostok. Their e-mail is
rgiadv@vladivostok.ru
Another option is State Archive of Kamchatskiy Kray: http://www.rusarchives.ru/state/kamchatskiy-kray/...

Have you tried FreeREG this lists all the PR's that they have currently transcribed and also has links to other sites that may have what you are looking for. Also the Forebears site has lots of alternative links to try.
Also yesterday Ancestry released a load of Gloucestershire PR's on their site. As they are so new have you checked these yet?

Some new evidence came to light very recently. A William Sanderson, Tobacconist, of 18 Great Turnstile, Holborn, Middlesex, left a PCC will which was proved 10 June 1852. In the will he mentions brothers Charles James Sanderson, George Henry Sanderson and Edwin Sanderson. Given the occupation of William, it seems almost certain that he is the brother of the ...

Population Studies from Parish Registers, a selection of readings from Local Population Studies, edited by Michael Drake (Local Population Studies, 1982, ISBN 0 9503951 7 X) contains a number of papers concerning this problem.
Bessie Maltby found that in Easingwold (NRY) in the period from 1644-1812 3% of partners were from a parish over 20 miles away.

Hyde Park is part of the City of Westminster which has its own archive (https://www.westminster.gov.uk/archives) and so the majority of the records, particularly the parish registers, will not be found in the London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) although there are exceptions. FindMyPast (https://www.findmypast.co.uk/ subscription required) has the collection ...

Do away with the perception that our ancestors didn't travel far. Especially by the nineteenth century there were several forms of transportation. Horse and carriage would of course be most common, but with the advent of the railways and expansion of roads, transportation over longer distances became easier and more accessible. People also walked long ...

The term "covenant servant" would simply refer to the fact that John was bound under some sort of contract to work for John Lang. This was probably an informal agreement, and unless you are extremely lucky I doubt it left a surviving paper trail. It may have been important to note this because the fact that it was contracted employment is evidence in support ...

I agree with @PolyGeo that it says "County and Diocese of Chester" which would suggest we are dealing Coddington, Cheshire.
I think what you are looking at here is a Marriage Bond where the money posted is a surety that would be forfeit if the marriage didn't take place or was subsequently nullified but would otherwise presumably be returned at some point.

Today FindMyPast announced:
Wales Parish Registers
We’ve added a substantial tranche of new records to our exclusive
collection of Welsh county baptisms, marriages, banns and burials.
One of the first things that I looked for was the marriage of Henry Hughes (1780-1820) the Printer of Brecon and I found it at Llanelieu/Llaneliw:

I can suggest two avenues of exploration:
Newspapers of the period accessed (e.g.) via The British Newspaper Archive or (for Wales) via Welsh Newspapers at the National Library of Wales. There may have been news items, advertisments, information about property transactions relevant to the founding of the business...
Powys Archives which could hold ...

So it appears that Bethuel is correct.
Bethuel is an Aramean name from the bible.

I am planning to post separate answers for John and William, because there are several of each baptised at Okehampton in this period. This answer will examine whether John's life post-baptism may shed any light on whether his parents have both been correctly named there.
In the 10 year period either side of 1800 there were four John Milman baptisms at ...

The Prisoners of War Department of the Transport Office employed three clerks with ...
