I'm not sure if anyone has already suggested this to you, but the Church of the Ascension is at North End, Portsmouth. Could this mean that someone lived in that parish, or perhaps that the banns were read in that church for some reason?

He was at that time serving in the Pioneer Corps (non-combatant). His address on the certificate reads Garstang, Lancashire, which was presumably where he was billeted. However in the same column - residence at time of marriage - the words "Ascension Portsmouth" have been deleted. Any ideas of to what they would refer? Of course if could be that the item was entered on the wrong certificate and had nothing to do with my uncle.. > I must have attended the wedding, but cannot recall it.
