hello This is my first message to this mailing list. My interest is in the WINDSOR family of Queen Camel who were my wife's ancestors. According to the Somerset Marriage Index as found on Findmypast the marriage of Richard WINDSOR and Milliar WILLIS took place on 30 Mar 1785 at Queen Camel. I sent a request to the LDS for a scan of the relevant page of the register and what I received was a page showing the publishing of the banns in Nov 1784. Is it OK for a marriage to take place some five months after the publishing of the banns and can someone with access to the registers confirm that the marriage did actually occur on 30 Mar 1785?

hello Sarah Thank you for this confirmation. I wonder why the LDS didn't find it. Was it where you expected to find it or was it out of place in the register?
