   Boyd says "Andr Hastings and Margaret Tanton, 1678, Horning".   
      
   HOWEVER, Horning is one of the Norfolk PRs also in FMP, and that is not   
   what the register says. FMP has transcribed his surname as HAGTON, but I   
   don't think that is right either. It might be Hastow or Hastons, but I   
   am not sure about the first s.   
      
   The entry says:   
   "mar. Andrew Hastons[?] of Heigham Singleman and Margaret Taunton of   
   Horning Single woman were maried Januar: 13 1678" [i.e. 1678/9]   
   I wonder if what Boyd used was the Bishops Transcript rather than the   
   register, and if that says "Hasings"? Particularly given the additional   
   discrepancy in the spelling of the bride's name.
