  5. ↑ The birth date of daughter Mary 23 Oct 1761 suggests the marriage date in the Marlborough VRs, 3 Nov 1761, is incorrect. The publication dates of the various sources cited here suggest that the problem is the published version of the Marlborough VRs, and the original Marlborough records may be correct. Presumably one or both of Hudson and Ward referred to the original records (neither one says explicitly), since they predate the published records, so probably their date of 29 Nov 1759 reflects what the original record says (can't be sure, though, as it is possible this date comes from some separate source, like church records). As Martyn presents no explanation for his value, he appears to have picked and chosen the parts of these various source that he liked best, which would not be a valid approach, and unless evidence supporting it were to turn up, it doesn't seem worth considering.
