Marriage Registration Comments
  • This record was obtained from the General Register Office, St. Catherine's House on July 1, 1987.
  • St. Mary's Stratford Bow was a large church in the Poplar area. It would be an honor to be married there rather than the smaller churches in the area.
  • The age of "full" generally meant that the person was more than 21 years old. It is estimated that Knut Oscar was about 30 years old.
  • The use of the spelling "Stewert" instead of "Steward" is unusual as the family consistently used "Steward.
  • The residence in Bow is unusual. All previous and subsequent records show the Stewards in Poplar, including the 1871 Census. Bow is the town north of Poplar, it is also further from the water. Perhaps Elizabeth had moved there with friends as she became older. Or perhaps, Bow is just a large overlapping Parish boundary which encompassed Poplar.
  • Elizabeth continued to use Holloway in her name. She showed her maiden name as Elizabeth Priscilla Holloway Stewert. However, she does list Joseph Stewert as her father.
  • It is unknown who the witnesses are. Most likely a close friend of the bride and groom.
