mgnv - I agree.
The main reason for giving the lancs bmd info is to highlight the extra info it contains such as the actual church or if it was 'registrar attended' that it might have been an RC marriage. It is sometimes possible with that info to find the details needed without having to buy a certificate. (not too often admittedly - but possible)

Julie - The real point of the post was to show there was more than one way to get marr info in Lancs, but since you mention it, neither index has all the details that the other has, specifically: quarter of rego from the GRO; which church register and the exact spouse (deduced from entry #) and occassionally alternate names for the parties from the local RO.
In addition, if one wished to buy from one location, the ref for the other location, whilst helpful, isn't really what's needed.

If you look at Williams middles name...Then this might be Janet's birth

Births Jun 1867 (>99%)
Leyland Janet Bolton 8c 295
____________________

Her Marriage

Marriages Sep 1886 (97%)

JONES Ellen Wigan 8c 415
LEYLAND Janet Bolton 8c 415<<<this is the corect number

As you can see there is no male...But i think the James in the other qtr should be in this one

FOUND 1 missing male by the name of James Speakman
