      June 15th

      Harry Featherstone 20 bachelor tailor of St Peters Lane father George Featherstone tailor

      Julia Short 19 spinster of St Peters Lane father William Short tailor

      Married in the Parish Church after Banns

      both signed in the presence of Daniel Doyle and Sarah Ann Short



      I was hoping this would sort out who his parents were. Julia Short is the daughter of William Short and Sarah Ann Featherstone. Sarah Ann had a brother George who was a sailor, not a tailor.
