One year AND two weeks earlier than the marriage date given on p. 188 is quite odd, and leads me to suspect that one of the years is wrong, either both in 95 or both in 96.

This man somewhat old (35) for this to be a first marriage, but he is known to be of Waltham in 1813 at the time his father's estate is settled, and the bride is given as being "of Waltham".
