    Marriage solemnized in Queen Street Chapel in the Town of Huddersfield in the County of York
    "26 Aug 1865. Richard Littlewood, 36 years, widower, farmer of Holme, son of Nathan Littlewood (deceased) farmer
    married Harriet Haigh, 29 years, spinster of Holme daughter of Abraham Haigh, farmer"

  2. Harriet was a sister of Richard's deceased wife who died the year previous. This union, known as "marrying deceased wife's sister", was not permitted in the Church of England, hence the couple went to an independent chapel in Huddersfield to get married.
