The Easton Royal parish register clearly shows the marriage of Richard Lovflick and Elizabeth Pyke as 22 September 1719. However, this would make Richard only 12 or 13 when he was married. It was legally possible with parents' permission for a boy as young as 14 to marry a girl as young as 12 up until 1929 but Richard was even younger than that. The date of marriage would seem to be incorrect in the register. The Nimrod Marriage Index shows two dates for the marriage: 1719 and 1729. Since the earliest known child of their marriage was baptised on 9 July 1730, the 1729 date of marriage does seem more likely.
Another record showed different spellings: Richeard Lovflak and Elizebeth.
