Cartwright  took over. Youl's last marriage was  the  9th October 1819 
and Cartwright's first 14th February 1820.
 
It  should be pointed out that in the original register the  only 
information recorded was; date, family name and Christian name of both  
bride  and  groom.  Information in  the  register  but  not included  
here includes; the officiating minister, names  of  the witnesses  to 
the marriage and who gave consent to  the  marriage (the  father  to  
colonial  born  brides  and  the  governor   to convicts). Interested 
readers are urged to consult the originals.
 
As explained above the age at marriage is a derived figure.
 
The Comments column mainly refers to the abode of the couple.
 
The reference number would direct the reader to the entry in  the 
original parish register. In this decade the numbers run from 001to 
049. 
 
To  locate an entry on this list; firstly an alphabetical  search on 
the name would be made on Lists 15 or 16 using code "SLL" from which 
the date of marriage would be retrieved, secondly using the 
appropriate  date,  the marriage would then be  located  on  this list.
