Stephen married Amy Townsend on 28 Dec 1795 in All Saint's Church, West Ham, Essex, England. (Amy Townsend was born about 1772 and was buried on 18 Sep 1846 in East Grafton, Wiltshire, England, aged 74 years.).
Marriage Notes:
Stephen Davis, Bachelor, and Amey Townsend, Spinster, both of this Parish*
Married by Banns
Both signed
Witnesses: Benjamin Barber, Hy. Challon
* "both of this Parish" simply means that the groom and bride had been residing in West Ham for 8 months or more. The couple returned to the groom's home county within twelve months after their marriage. It is entirely possible that Amy was native to Essex; however, she appears in neither the baptismal register for West Ham (a search of the years 1770 to 1775 inclusive was conducted), nor in any of the baptismal registers for those nearby parishes thus far examined.
