Ancestors of Cley

While looking through the Marriages register of Wells-Next-The-Sea for one of the Jary marriages, I came across the following. As the marriage was by licence, the space left to fill in the names and dates of the Banns was left empty. The post office comment looks to have been added at an unknown time after the marriage was recorded. It is in a different handwriting and what looks to be pencil rather than ink.

(Bold font reflects the pre-printed register text, while italicised font indicates hand-written entries. Until I can determine the copyright status and obtain permission to publish excerpts of images on the LDS pilot site, a transcript is the next best thing. This sort of thing, of course, loses a lot in transcription.)
