Noooooo! I had other plans!!!! Instead, I spent a great whack of today finding marriage bonds for various family members. Not a great deal more information than I already had, but enough to make it worthwhile. For example, I discovered that my husband's great-grandfather added an extra detail to his address, placing it in Doctor's Commons. I had to go off and find out what that was, and ran smack into Dickens and Swift...
