Hi - just passing through via [livejournal.com profile] pirategasm, and thought I'd contribute to your poll.

I'm not too sure at all about Q1 (I chose pastor in the end) but priest would tend to imply Roman Catholic, rather than Anglican.

The West Indies don't seem to have had their own bishops until the nineteenth century, but were covered by the Diocese of London.

If the Bishop of London happened to be paying a pastoral visit at the time of the wedding, and the bride and/or groom were of suitably exalted social status, he might well agree to preside.

Thank you! I figured it would be unlikely for a colony to have its own bishop, but thought I'd ask.

I'm going with vicar ::nods:: Still sounds Catholic, but then the Church of England is the red-headed stepchild of the Catholic church anyway :)

Vicar is good - I don't have much to do with the C of E these days, but the clergy I remember from my childhood were mostly vicars, with the occasional rector.
