I have found details of a marriage bond for an ancestor for £200 in 1737,
Whilst I understand what a marriage bond is I would like to know why they did this ?
Secondly £200 was a fairly substantial amount of money then, does this indicate my ancestor was quite well off, he is described as "Ale brewer of Doncaster"
