	Fleet Prison - LoveToKnow 1911
		FLEET PRISON, an historic London prison, formerly situated on the east side of Farringdon Street, and deriving its name from the Fleet stream, which flowed into the Thames.
		33) was passed, which required, under pain of nullity, that banns should be published according to the rubric, or a licence obtained, and that, in either case, the marriage should be solemnized in church; and that in the case of minors, marriage by licence must be by the consent of parent or guardian.
		The Fleet Registers, consisting of "about two or three hundred large registers" and about a thousand rough or "pocket" books, eventually came into private hands, but were purchased by the government in 1821, and are now deposited in the office of the registrar-general, Somerset House.

	"Hertfordshire Family History File - Fleet Marriages"
		The Fleet Prison stood in Farringdon Street on the site now occupied by the Congregations Memorial Hall, and the area round it, known as the 'Rules of the Fleet', was bounded by Farringdon Street, Ludgate Hill, the Old Bailey and Fleet Lane, a somewhat insalubrious and notorious area of narrow alleys, courts and passages.

		Most of the Fleet records are at the Public Record Office (P.R.O) in the class RG7; the piece numbers 1 to 273 and 833 are registers; 274 to 290 are indexes of names, often with no other information, while 291 to 832 are rough notebooks, all of pocket size and some in poor condition.

		Clandestine marriages were often performed by clergymen who did not have an official position, in parishes other than those of the couple, or in such diverse locales as taverns, prisons, or even brothels.
		All verbal or written contract marriages were rendered null and void as were any marriages not recorded in a parish register with the signatures of both the bride and groom and at least two witnesses.
		Christopher Lasch believes that clandestine marriage became popular among the poor because by the middle of the eighteenth century, betrothal had lost its "binding character" through the disruption of village life, the growth of mobile laborers, and the increased amount of casual sexual activity.
