Big mistake sorry this is how it reads

9 Mar 1848 St Thomas Dudley
William MILLS O B Provision Dealer Dudley Father Thomas Cartwright Coal Miner (Dec)
Lucy CARTWRIGHT O S Dudley Father Richard Mills Coal Miner
After Banns Both Signed
Wit; Elizabeth Bailey / Richard Mills / Thomas Cartwright/ Hannah Jones? / K--? Mills

I think the vicar wrote them wrong way round

Thanks RF
In thought Cartwright must be right as children in later census records start using Cartwright Mills as surname

This one is a red herring
