   It's quite common for a birth or death to be registered several days or   
   even weeks after the event, especially in the early days of civil   
   registration.  Is the same possible for a marriage?  I've always assumed   
   that the registration happened on the day of the marriage, at the   
   signing of the registers.  Is that necessarily the case?  Specifically,   
   if I find a marriage listed in the GRO index for Q2 of a given year, can   
   I safely assume the marriage happened in April, May or June, and it's   
   not a late registration of a marriage that occurred in March?
