Nancy, Just one detail. > According to what you've provided - of which I have no doubt - we should look at the registration dates on a historic calendar (by day of the week), identify the closest following Sunday and extend the banns process from there. Yes? I think we have to be careful to always pick the closest following Sunday. What if the required consent was handed over one day too late, would the first pronouncement simply be postponed till next Sunday or would the whole procedure be canceled? I don't know. Sometimes I find marriage intentions that are complete, even with signatures of the couple, but erased. Some of those have a reference to another page on a later date. But there are no notes about why the records were erased. Regards Cor Snabel The Netherlands
