At 9 o clock this morning the Reverend Mr Horne performed the Marriage Ceremony and now I am once more, I trust, happily joined in the bands of wedlock, we intended our marriage should be kept a secret till the 21st of this month and Mr Horne had promised to do so, but the poor parson was not born to keep secrets, he carried it piping hot to the ears of every one he met, but desired every one he told it to, not to mention it to any one – however in less than two hours it was known over the whole Colony – it made very little difference to me whether it was known today or a fortnight hence – I am happy and the Parson is pleased at telling the news.

“He seems to be a good honest fellow”, wrote DuBois of Morley, “and I am rather gratified by his being highly pleased at his sister [sic] marriage”. He uses the word “sister” in the then current sense of sister-in-law. The parish registers of All Saints, Bristol, in the Bristol Record Office, show that she had two older sisters, Anne and Christian Jane, one of whom could have been the captain's wife.
