The registers are grouped according to the volume and each volume contains a number of districts. It is possible, therefore, that entries from different districts (all within the same volume) can appear on the same page although, of course, pairs of entries should have the same district. > note the districts are in italics although "Samford" appears > to be a legitimate spelling. If you click on "Samford" it says: "The page number is not within the range expected for the district. Note that there a number of possible reasons for this, including an error in the district, the page, the volume, the date or the type of entry." In the first case the reason is a wrong page and in the second the reason is a wrong date. > I then clicked the "spectacles" for the 2nd entry and > returned page 334 for Sep 1896 instead of 1369 > I could not get a return for the "spectacles" in the first entry. There are (confusingly) two types of "page", one is the page in the original register (page 1369 in volume 4a) and the other is the page of the index (334), which is what the scan is of. In the Sept 1986 entry you will not find the entry on page 334 because the transcription accidently put the entry in September rather than June. This has already been corrected which is why there is now a entry for the same name in the results for June 1896. The incorrect entry (Sep 1986) has now been deleted and this will be reflected in the results at the next update. There does not now appear to be a problem with viewing the scan of the first entry. However, as Allan has observed the page number should probably be 1041. If you do a search for Marriages, June 1884, volume=4a, page=1041 you will get three entries which are probably the ones that go with the Weeding entry.
