MARIA TELLINGE

Posted by ALISTAIR TELLING on 14/8/2024, 2:10 pm

My name is Alistair Telling and i'mresearching my. family tree. I came across part. of a document in the back of the family bible, which reads:
"This is to Certify that Domingoes Fores Sojomnes of this parish and Maria Tellinge Of this parish were Married in the parish Church of West Teingmouth by Banns the 21st day of December 1783 in the County of Devon - by Edilo Cove Winifred as Joiitriefs Picti Medlayd Clerk of"
Not sure if I've got all the letters correct but this is my best translation. I wondertred if anyone else called Tellinge had a link to this?

I don't have a connection but I would suggest that it's 'sojourner' not sojomnes (i.e. a person not resident in the parish).

The original in the parish register reads as follows:

The bride's surname is COLINGS, not Tellinge, the groom's surname is FENCEO.

The minister is EDWD COVE, the witnesses are RICHARD MEDLAND (he is the witness to other marriages, so likely to be clerk of the parish) and Christopher LEVICE (surname is not very easy to read but that's my best guess).

Karen thank you very much for your prompt reply and the additional information and clarity around Maria Colings.

The children of the marriage are baptised as FENCES.
