marriage look up please

Hiya, I've found a marriage for Wm Kent.(14 July 1802 in Mevegissey) .He married someone called Stephens, would the original marriage entry have the brides 1st name?
Thanks very much
Kate.

If you are referring to the extracted entry in the IGI then that's a transcription of the entry in the register, it looks like a transcriber ommission.

I've checked the CFHS Marriage Index &
Mevagissey William KENT 14 Jul 1802 Jenifer STEPHENS

The IGI batch number for Mevagissey baptisms 1590-1841 is P020631

I've just had a quick look & Wm & Jane/Jennifer Kent are having children baptized at about the right time.
Jenney Williams Kent 27 MAR 1803
Jonath Williams Kent 09 DEC 1804
Elizth Kent 03 MAY 1807 (mothers name Jenifer)
Wm Kent 09 JUN 1811 (mothers name Jennifer)

Jane & Jennifer are in my experience often interchangeable.

Jane & Jennifer are in my experience often interchangeable.

I would agree with that Sue! I have a number of Jenifer/Jinifer ancestors who use Jane as a name later.

Thanks Sue and Mark. This is what I thought. I'll let my husband know and will get back to you with more questions. Johnath Williams was my husbands x 2 great grandad.
