Lovely stuff on Croft-an -Righ. Thanks everyone. It seems that my couple, James Harrower HUNTER and Mary Anne HUNTER had their banns called in both his parish, Edinburgh, and her parish, Torryburn. As not all parishes wrote down all the banns, this led to different dates being recorded, which may have been interpreted as different marriage dates rather than as consecutive Banns. Antonia (NZ)

Good morning Antonia , Good point !! The reason for this was the Banns had to be read in "THE PARISH THE PERSON WAS NORMALLY DOMICILED IN OR THE PARISH CHURCH SHE WAS A MEMBER OF " I.E. If he lived in Edinburgh and was courting a lass from Torryburn who happened to be working in Edinburgh but had not transferred her "Certificate" to Edinburgh Parish her Banns would have to be read in Torryburn .
