Wendy   Many thanks for checking that for me (and the photo evidence sent separately). Quite unexpected. I guess that someone got it wrong when writing the registers, as the Old Wharf Inn (from all other evidence I've seen) was in Mill Lane (or Street depending on the record!!!)   Neil From: Wendy Archer <wharcher@cvd.co.uk> To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, 25 August 2011, 12:26 Subject: Re: [OXF] Licensed Victualler Neil - You said: > To answer Hugh, the marriage record, from the Christchurch, Banbury > Register is: > 17 August 1901 at Christchurch > Alban ROOT, 35, bachelor, Butcher, 25 Castle Street, son of Jonathan > (deceased), Butcher > Hannah Maria GRANTHAM (made her mark), 26, spinster, The Old Wharf Inn > Bridge Street, daughter of Edward, Licensed Victualler. > Witnesses: Fred.

I'm at Oxfordshire History Centre, & I've ordered up the original register. It's exactly as you've written above, ie as the OFHS transcription.  Sorry that's not the answer you wanted ! Photo on its way as proof!
