The couple I believe may have been one of my sets of grandparents were married by Superintendent Registrar's Certificate
I gather that this is a fairly rare thing, and that no banns would have been called - one reason for doing this I found from Googling was that the Vicar might be concerned that individuals might disrupt the ceremony if they knew about it, and so did not want banns called.
2 questions if anyone has any ideas, please:-
1. If banns were not called, was any notice given anywhere of the forthcoming wedding?
2. Is there any other reason that a marriage might be performed under Superintendent Registrar's Certificate, other than the fear of objectors at the ceremony?
Thanks
PS I think I may have asked part of this before - if so, I apologise, but I have forgotten/lost the answer
