I have a marriage certificate from 1864 where the marriage took place in a registry office.
I was looking at it last night and spotted an oddity (for want of better discription).
On the line below the names where it says "Married in the _______________according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the ____________ by me__________"
where the blanks get filled in with the church name, and all that, it has the "....Rites & Ceremonies of the PARTIES BEFORE me"
This is the only Registry Office marriage that I have, so is this normal? And what could it constitute?
The couple were a Bachelor and a Woman deserted by her Husband.
Thanks for looking
