  3. An article in Mayflower Descendant 27:145-55 points out that intentions were entered on July 4 and 5, 1603. Banns then would have been read the next three Sundays: July 6, 13 and 20th, meaning the 20th was the soonest the marriage could have taken place.
  4. In some churches in the Netherlands, only the last date of "ondertrouw" proclamation is recorded.
