It is always worth looking at the original index pages (using the 'spectacles' icons on FreeBMD or equivalent facilities on the commercial sites) to see whether the page numbers have been correctly transcribed. The parish of Loughor near Swansea was actually in Llanelly registration district for many years. In the commercial sites this might well show up as Carmarthenshire. Loughor included Gowerton (subsequently a parish in its own right) and parts of Gorseinon and Dunvant. You can find the areas covered by particular registration districts at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/ or by following the links from names of registration districts in FreeBMD. Normally all the marriage entries on one GRO index number will have come from the same Church, Chapel or register office. If you are able to find one distinctive name on an index number, and find the entry in the Findmypast or Familysearch Glamorgan or Carmarthenshire baptisms, you often find the other entries on that index page took place on the same day, or a few days or weeks before or afterwards, in the same parish register.
