(dispensatio obtenta in 3^0 gradii affinitatis)

Note: I think the dispensation indicates that William's two wives were first cousins, or aunt and niece to each other. Great grandchild/great grandmother would also be included, but that would probably be much of a difference in ages. Both Marys were born in the 1850's.
