Thomas Gilbert joyned in Marriage to Katherine Bliss the 31 day of ye 4 mon 1655.

The first month of the year was considered to be March (even though the year started March 25), which would make the 4th month June. However, June only has 30 days, so it either the clerk meant the last day of June, or July 31. Jacobus interpreted the date as July 31.
