Hi John, My vote is that these are the same marriage transcribed by two different transcribers, or one marriage was transcribed and the other was submitted by an LDS member. This is not uncommon as non-native English speakers do transcribe for LDS. I too searched GGG/IGG various ways and did not find a marriage. This is not uncommon as this index is incomplete. You could search the Manhattan Marriage Index for 1887 for HARING and HARRING, then view the indicated certificate/s to determine the truth. The only other way to ascertain which is the more accurate MC information is to rent both films from LDS/Family Search. BTW I know someone who has long researched the HARING surname. Please contact me off list if you're interested.
