just because a marriage is in a brown book doesn't mean it happened in that town. I hope you account for that. the brown books vital records are an accumulation of facts about people in that town. Like say James Denning was born 2 Jul 1822. this could be from a govt form or tax record book. It doesn't mean he was born at that date in that town.
