Dear listers, who were kind enough to contribute their ideas, may like to know I've cracked it!

The term intermarriage was used in the will to signify that the testator (James Sillett) married the step-daughter of George Girling and George's will contained bequests to her which at the time of James's will 30 years later caused some problems. Hence James intermarried into George's family even though at step-daughter level.

I just knew "intermarriage" was not a usual term.

The phrase "having intermarried with the said...." appears in a 1839 will for James Sillett.

Has anyone come across this phrase before and could it mean a second marriage for James or his then wife?

I'd be interested in anyone's opinion.
