Notes for Richard & Charlotte (Family)
Their marriage, transcript by me, from an image of the Register, thanks to Ancestry:

[                     [Register of ]  St George, Hanover Sq > 1760-1768             ]

“                 Marriages in July 1763                             231

“No 295

This Marriage was Solemnized between us,  Rich’d. Michell,  Char’te. Dunbar
In the Presence of,  Thos. Tash,  Eliz Agnew.
______________________

Note that at Charlotte’s marriage one of the witnesses was Eliz Agnew.

Then ask  yourself if this marriage below might just have been that of the mother of Charlotte?

First name(s)           Elizabeth
Last name               Dunbar
Marriage year           1750
Marriage date           06 Sep 1750
Marriage place          London
Spouse's first name(s)  Andrew
Spouse's last name      Agnew

Country                 England

Category                Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
Subcategory             Parish Marriages

But it says in the register page that she was a spinster, which would not have been true for Charlotte’s mother who might have been a widow.
