Banns were read in Wymondham on 23 Jun 1782 and 30 Jun 1782, for the marriage of Samuel Blazey (bap. 12 Sep 1761 in Wymondham), of this parish, bachelor, son of Paul Blazey and Mary Day, and Susanna Plunkett (bap. 27 Jan 1763 in Wymondham), of the same parish, Spinster, daughter of John Plunkett and Mary Bale, but on the third date the record states that they were not published. Unfortunately, I can't read the reason written on the record and to be fair, nor could various online OCR tools, the best of which, channelling it's inner Stanley Unwin (that'll date me) came up with, "at the men's steather and he had vermed astotter from herden which forted the going on". Indeed. What I interpret the situation to be is that Samuel had requested them not to be published as the couple had separated. If so, only temporarily, because after the banns were recalled on 8th, 15th and 22nd Jun 1783, Samuel Blazey and Susan Plunkett were married at Wymondham Abbey on 23 Jul 1783. Witnesses at this wedding were Sam Taylor and Jeramiah Forster.
Samuel and Susanna Blazey had at least five children:
- William Blazey bap. 5 Oct 1783 in Wymondham
- Elizabeth Blazey bap. 28 Mar 1785 in Wymondham
- Paul Blazey bap. 4 Apr 1790 Private Baptism in Wymondham
- Susanna Blazey bap. 11 Jul 1792 in Wymondham
- Mary Blazey b. 12 Aug 1797, bap. 20 Aug 1797 in Wymondham
On Elizabeth's and Susanna's baptisms, their mother's name is Susanna Blazey (late Susanna Plunkett) and on Paul's, it's Susan Blazey (late Plunkett).
So far I've not found a record of the death of this Samuel Blazey. There are various records that could relate to Susanna (a further marriage included), but, so far, I've been unable to confirm if any of them are relevant.
