[n.d., c.1815.]
Letterpress certificate. Sheet: 155 x 190mm (6 x 7½''). Laid on album sheet.
A blank certificate from the famous parish of Gretna Green. Gretna Green was a popular destination for eloping couples because it was the first, easily reachable town across the Scottish border where marriage laws were much more relaxed in comparison to England and Wales. Couples just had to find two witnesses and did not need parental consent to marry. Scotland also permitted 'irregular marriages' which allowed almost anyone to conduct a marriage if two witnesses were present. Manuscript on a scrap below states 'Springfield Oct.r 11 1820 David Lang Parish of Gretna Green'. David Lang (1792-1827) was a famous 'Blacksmith Priest' who would conduct marriages in Gretna Green, he was nephew of Joseph Paisley who was the first of these priests. Lang was born in Lancashire and worked as a peddlar, he was captured by a press gang and forced to join the navy. While at sea his ship was captured by John Paul Jones and he joined his crew as a pirate but when the ship neared the Solway Coast he slipped overboard and swam to Gretna Green. His son Simon Lang also became a 'Blacksmith Priest' but was forced to other jobs with the decline in Gretna Green marriages after 1837.
