Thanks to everyone who replied to my query relating to my grandparents' register office wedding that took place in 1919. Basically, as I hadn't come across any other such weddings in my family history, it sort of begged the question as to why? I had a hunch already as to the possible reason and after reading the replies to my posting, my hunch has been reinforced. I suspect strongly that my grandfather was Catholic with a Catholic mother. It looks as though his father was not born into the Catholic faith but was sort of moving in that direction, probably because of his wife's influence (I have only discovered recently that he was baptised in the Catholic church at Tow Law in County Durham when he was 57, just three years before he died). I feel certain he would have been baptised when he was a child, but maybe that was in an Anglican church and he didn't feel that counted! Kind regards... David Allan.
