As Rootgatherer suggests I would certainly get the 1921 marriage certificate for George Richmond/ Annie Preston as according to the banns of marriage for George Richmond (widower) and Annie Brough (spinster) the marriage did take place on October 28th 1921.

AustiQ. The banns that I have found are for George Richmond and Annie Brough for October 28th 1921

All the more reason to buy a copy of that marriage certificate to see if Annie names a father and the names of the witnesses may prove helpful :-)

I'm with you Rootgatherer!

The image for the banns of marriage (George Richmond/ Annie Brough) states banns were read on the 9th, 16th, and 23rd of October 1921. There is a side note to say the couple married the 28th October 1921. The only marriage that seems to fit is the George Richmond/ Annie Preston marriage (4th qtr 1921 Chesterfield).

It seems very likely Annie Brough and Annie Preston were the same person. There could be many reasons Annie married under a different name- and as Rootgatherer said, the only way to be certain it is the same couple is to see the marriage certificate. I think we are all interested to hear the details and hopefully find more connections for your Annie.

You are probably already familiar with ordering certificates, but just in case- I find the easiest (and cheapest) way to order certificates is through the GRO using the page and volume number from the index:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

Marriages Dec 1921
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Preston Annie - Richmond Chesterfield 7b 1773
Richmond George - Preston Chesterfield 7b 1773

I would order the marriage certificate but only give George Richmond's name with the volume and page numbers, just in case Annie's surname has been mistakenly transcribed at some point in proceedings.

If you give both names and it turns out that the name on the certificate is Brough rather than Preston, they won't issue the certificate, but if you just give George's name then they will issue the certificate no matter what the bride's name is.
