Although a lateral issue, wedding certificates would resolve what appears to be a dilemma for you. Actually, I think the other gentleman's suggestion about Army's requirement of approval to marry may the reason behind the two marriages, if the cited FreeBMD online information is accurate. Or, possibly the couple only wanted to renew their wedding vows. By the way, are both the 'Go' and "Goff" pronunciations typically used for GOUGH surname? Regards, Steade

The images can be checked but they are only as accurate as the clerk in the register office and/or the clerk at the GRO. FreeBMD's is only as accurate as the index they were working from. > Or, possibly the couple only wanted to renew their wedding vows. If they were only renewing their vows, it wouldn't be shown as a marriage. The two ceremonies are very different. > > By the way, are both the 'Go' and "Goff" pronunciations typically used for > GOUGH surname? > > Regards, > > Steade > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk http://www.savethegurkhas.co.uk/
