See note 7 on this link.

Do you know why this might have happened?

Gwyn

Parties ??

No no idea at all

I am stumped!

As far as I can figure the bride was baptised in a Cof E church in Norfolk and the groom's baptism record I found in the Non Confirmist section on Ancestry

maybe this is why but I would still like to know what the word means if anyone with experience might know

They were married in the Register Office, according to their own wishes as to how the ceremony was conducted, over and above the legalities.

ok, well that's quite interesting in itself I suppose first one I have seen like that.

His seecond marriage ten years later was a regular establiched church affair at St Giles Cripplegate

thanks

Who actually married the couple?
Does it give his name and status?

Gwyn

John Paul something or other?

Superintendent registrar

it is one of those old ones from 1843 where the image is quite hard to read to be honest

I could e mail you a scan if it would help

I'll send a p.m

Why not telephone the GRO or the issuing register office (which ever you got the certificate from) and ask them as I'm sure they will have some knowledge of similar certificates?

Is this marriage to be found on London Marriages on Ancestry?

When I got married in 1971 it was a congregational church but at the time the baptist church where I attended , was having a new church built so they were'borrowing' this church for their services.

My marriage cert has words to the effect that it was according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Baptist church because the place I was married in wasn't a Baptist church, if that makes sense.I just presumed at the time that this was written to confirm that I wasnt a congregationalist-jl

Just had another thought, when a marriage is held at the Register Office I am sure it has been mentioned to me that there has to be no mention of the word God in the service at all.

If the parties chose to have for example a prayer said then this might have to be sanctioned by the superintendant, as IGP says.

Just another snippet, nothing to do with the question but nowadays the bride is asked if she is' being forced into this marriage'. My neighbour who is 73 got married last year for the first time ever .. she too was asked this question but declined to say that it had taken her long enough to get a husband in the first place! But they are a great couple.-jl

Would you like to post the detailes of the marraige and maybe as GB said it could be in the London marriages on Ancestry and one or more of us would be able to see it and give you our views as to what it says.

but for those of you who would like to prove me wrong (not hard)
