Volunteer transcription, not the register image. Marriages after 1812 exist in only one transcript (Joan Fordham's), because the Phillimore and Diane Masters transcripts of Ilminster marriages both stop at 1812. Burial transcripts stop about 1837, so a nil burial search after that date is a coverage gap, not evidence.

For George Manning & Elizabeth Holbrook

"Marriage date 29 Aug 1816; Groom forename George; Groom surname MANNING; Bride forename Elizabeth; Bride surname HARWOOD; Notes: Groom a bach. Bride a spr."

The bride is recorded as HARWOOD, not Wood. This is the only Manning marriage at Ilminster between 1814 and 1818. Quality is set to 2 rather than 3 because only one transcriber covers Ilminster marriages after 1812, so the reading cannot be cross-checked against a second transcript.

For John Dinham (1790–1852)

"Baptism date 14 Feb 1790; forename John; sex M; Father forename William; Mother forename Mary; Father surname DINHAM"

Two independent transcripts of this parish agree entry for entry. This is the only John Dinham baptised at Ilminster between 1770 and 1802, and both his census entries give his birthplace as Ilminster. Which William-and-Mary Dinham couple this is remains unsettled: Ilminster St Mary records five William Dinham x Mary marriages 1789-1803, of which two precede this baptism.
