Did the registrar mis-hear?

Ann The marriage pages you found aren't anything to do with mishearing, they are what the GRO indexer thought the certificates said. If they said the names as in the index, then its not your couple. If they were misheard and recorded by the person filling in the marriage form (not necessarily the local registrar - could be the C of E priest if they married in a C of E church, or another religious person licenced to perform marriages). But you haven't, I think, found that these two people actually married eachother as opposed to anyone else on the same page. I'd definitely contact the relevant register office and ask them! nell |

Not to be too vulgar, the fact that Joseph's name is on the birth cert doesn't mean he WAS the father. None of us can know - unless we have DNA tests - who the father of a child was. What is written on a birth cert can be wrong. Similarly, the fact that a couple state they are married on a census return doesn't mean there was a wedding, either! nell I do understand - I have various Missing Marriages I could write a short novel about! |
