This Marriage was solemnized between us, Robert Fey and Ann Gosling
in the Presence of us, William Strong, William Crosscombe
This is a dubious marriage for Robert Fey and his second wife Anne. While many aspects agree, such as their address in Holloway Street,
Robert's father Edward, the ages of both, It is unlikely that Ann was a spinster when she married Robert Fey, as she had a son, William Hawkins. It has not been possible to link Gosling to a husband or partner Hawkins.
