|    2 Weddings - 1 marriage    |
|    28 May 22 13:40:11    |
      From: NemoNews@hotmail.co.uk              On FreeBMD I found 2 entries for the marriage of cousin of mine in 1929.        All the details are the same except for the page numbers. I have       looked at the image and they are entered as 795 & 837.              I then turned to the Lancashire BMD site and again there are 2 entries       for the marriage, one at the Parish Church and one "Register Office or       Registrar Attended."              I know it is not that unusual for a couple to have a Civil Ceremony and       some sort of religious marriage service or blessing of the union, but I       haven't before come across 2 separate entries in the Register. Why       would this be so? Could it be that the first wedding was at the Church       and something not done correctly (according to civil law) so it had to       be "corrected" at the Register Office?              --       Jenny M Benson       Wrexham, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
