Has anyone else come across two marriages registered in two parishes for the same couple. I have recently found some and wondered what was the reason for this. |

A similar question came up on here recently. It was suggested that it was probably to do with the recording of the Banns. The problem with the IGI is that you can not be absolutely sure what the source of the info was, |

when the bride and groom live in different parishes then the banns have to be put up in both parishes ,this is so any objections can be made from both sides It usual to marry in the brides local church, Many people got around this by giving the same address when they put the banns up. In order to be in a parish you had to have 6 weeks residence. |

There have been many threads about members of the Armed forces who marry without the COs consent and have to marry again in order to obtain married quarters etc. |

The Family Search material is excellent for telling you that a record (probably) exists somewhere, but it is hopeless as a transcription of what the record says. They don't give any indication of the original wording, or distinguish between the information actually supplied and what they have inferred for the purposes of creating the index (the ages of the bride and groom, for instance, are usually assumed to be 21, but usually weren't). You will need to seek out a copy of the actual parish record in both parishes and find out which one (if either) is actually a record of the marriage. As a rule of thumb if the two records have different dates, the later one is usually when (and where) the marriage took place. However, quite a lot of records of the calling of banns don't mention the marriage at all, which usually means that it was a Non-conformist ceremony but might of course mean that the couple never got married at all! |
