The marriage in the Sept qtr gives Frances' marriage as being in Meriden but it's in italics which indicates that there is a problem with the entry. By clicking on the registration district you get the following message: <quote> However... The page number is not within the range expected for the district. Note that there a number of possible reasons for this, including an error in the district, the page, the volume, the date or the type of entry. Further information may also be available here. </quote> A further indication that there is something wrong is when you click on the page number and the other two couples are shown to have been married in Aston registration district. There are also normally only two couples on a page in the register. So I would venture to suggest that Frances didn't, in fact, marry twice, but was misentered. -- Charani (UK)
