   Marrying your step-nephew

   I've just come across a marriage in 1767 between a woman and her older   
   sister's stepson.  They're not blood relatives, nonetheless this is not   
   something I've encountered before.  Would such a marriage have been   
   considered acceptable at this time?  I suppose it's not so different to   
   a woman marrying her sister's brother-in-law which I've seen on several   
   occasions.
