The licence for this marriage was issued against the 'allegation' of a Mathew Beardmore, undoubtedly the same Mathew, lace-maker, who married Isabella Mason at St Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, in 1702 (and whose son, Thomas, born c. 1704, matriculated at Lincoln College in 1722 and gained his MA ten years' later), and possibly the Matthew Berdmore (or his son) who with wife Mary had a daughter Mary baptised at South Moreton, Berks, in 1679 and two Elizabeths baptised in London, one in 1681 and the second in 1686.
This sequence of events resulted in the issuance of a license based on the 'assertion' of a Mathew Beardmore, undoubtedly the same Mathew, lace-maker, who married Isabella Mason at St Nicholas Cole Abbey, London, in 1702 (and whose son, Thomas, born circa 1704, matriculated at Lincoln College in 1722 and gained his MA ten years later), and possibly the Matthew Berdmore (or his son) who with wife Mary had a daughter Mary baptized at South Moreton, Berks, in 1679 and two Elizabeths baptized in London, one in 1681 and the second in 1686.
