Machin

James Machin is recorded as being a School teacher in Wickersley from 1759 to 1771.

On 10th December, 1888 George MACHIN,Labourer aged 49 years, widower,son of John Machin labourer, married Jane Roddis, 26 years, spinster

Witnesses: George Avill & Sarah Goucher

George Machin, Jane Roddis and their witnesses, George Avill & Sarah Goucher, all did not sign the register, but made a mark X. This leads on to the question, how many people in Wickersley in 1888 could read and write? I suspect the answer is, the vast majority.

In the Wedding Registers for 1889-1900, only one person is recorded a making a mark, rather than signing their name, and in the Wedding Registers for 1880-1887, only three people are recorded as making a mark.
