Hello Julian, You message is interesting and I have come across this in my research. It seems that on some occasions the reading of Banns was recorded in the parish registers and such entries can be mistaken for a marriage. In your case I would suspect that the first you mention on a Sunday was the reading of Banns and the second was the marriage. Was one of the parties of Beckley and the other of Northiam? If so this would add further credence to what I suspect. Kind regards, John Green, 9502 in Ontario, Canada. ----- Original Message ----- From: <k.noakes@lineone.net> To: <sfhg@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 2:12 PM Subject: [SFHG] two weddings, one marriage > In 1753 Richard Nokes married Mary Susans on Sunday 11th November in > Beckley and the following Thursday 15th November in Northiam. > Both marriages are recorded in the parish registers. > Has anyone heard of a double wedding in two different places before > between the same couple?How unusual was this and what might be an > explanation? > > Julian Noakes > 11756 > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > SFHG-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >
