I have a couple that appear to get married twice in two different Somerset parishes a month apart? See these links; One is for Charlton Mackrell and the other for Chard. |

when a couple live in two parishes then banns have to be put up in both places. Its usual to marry in the brides parish so it looks like what you see is the banns being put up in the grooms parish for the actual marriage to take place in the brides church. |

No, they're not required - one can get married by licence too. |

Thanks for that. I hadn't thought of Banns! The bride and two of her sisters get baptised in the Charlton Mackrell church on the same day earlier in the December too. I presume the vicar required it. |

Each Church has a banns register too, separate from the marriage register. Some of the banns registers will have been transcribed. If you are marrying by banns, they have to be read in the brides church, the grooms church, and the church in which they are to be married, if different. |
