Hello all, Has anyone come across a marriage being registered twice? Researching for a friend, I have just found his parents marriage clearly registered both in Bootle Lancs Q4 1948 and also in Shoreditch London Q4 1950. Their respective names are quite unusual so it must be the same couple. How can this happen? I suppose this can only be confirmed from obtaining a copy of both certificates….

There may have been an impediment with the first marriage (one or other party was still married, or some other reason) Or there was another couple of the same names As you rightly say the only way would be to get or find the marriages Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/11/2014 22:26, Mark Gatenby via wrote: > Hello all, > > Has anyone come across a marriage being registered twice? > > Researching for a friend, I have just found his parents marriage clearly registered both in Bootle Lancs Q4 1948 and also in Shoreditch London Q4 1950. > Their respective names are quite unusual so it must be the same couple. > > How can this happen? > > I suppose this can only be confirmed from obtaining a copy of both certificates…. > > Mark
