There are dates in the rows which would make it possible to choose the right County list if, there were documented changes over time, but adding th...

Re: Birth certificate not found at GRO England

The only Elizabeth Louise Brown I can find with that Vol no and page No is one born in 1877 in the Mile End Registration District. Doing a search on GRO site Elizabeth Louisa Brown doesn't show, but by looking at other people who are on page 570, have found a possible indexing problem. GRO has a Eli...

Re: Duplicate old and new Marriage Registers

Having looked at the Registers, and when they start/finish etc.
Suspect is nothing more than the incumbent Vicar deciding to use up the old Register, as well as the new one.

As when the double recording stops seems to be when the Vicar changes.

Re: Robert Brent M.D. (1819-1872)

As Robert was in the Army, depending on when he joined is possible that for his first marriage he had no got permission from the Army to marry, so even though the marriage was legal, he would of married again but this time with permission from the Army.
