Hi All, This question is general in nature, but since it applies to a London church, I thought I'd post it here. To the best of my knowledge, after the calling of Banns, the couple have/had 3 months in which to get married. Was this also true in 1795, the year in which I have come across a small anomaly for some of my ancestors. Banns were called in St Saviour, Southwark, for Charles HEAD and Sally FOWLER on Feb 8th, 15th and 22nd. The subsequent marriage (same church) then doesn't take place until 1st Sep 1795. I can find no record of any other Banns having being called. Was this marriage actually valid? -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
