    Edward Robins and Bathsheba Bennet 22 of April 1737.
    [Note: same page: "Edward Robbins and Bathsheba Bennet entered their Intentions of marriage October ye 8th 1737 and were then made Publick." Clearly this is incompatible with the date of marriage. While the intentions appear in chronological order, and marriages not, on p. 285, Bathsheba wife of Edward Robbins admitted to church 2 Apr 1738 and on p. 69 and 287, daughter Mary b. 10 Sep 1738, bp. 22 Oct 1738. So they were married before 22 Apr 1738, a date suggested if the intention really was Oct 1737 and the error was a simple misrecording of the year. Note that the following marriage shown is also 22 Apr 1737, the previous one is 7 Dec 1737, possibly indicating a copying error, suggesting the marriage is actually after 7 Dec 1737 and before 2 Apr 1738. See online copy, probably not the original, which gives the same dates, here, marriage p.14 and intentions p. 15.]
