I've got two marriage certs in front of me, one for my paternal G.Grandparents, m1867 and the other for my maternal Grandparents m1902.
For my G.Grandparents it reads "Marriage solemnized at St. Nicholas Church in the Parish of Brighton in the County of Sussex (1867)
I know for a fact that my maternal Grandparents were married at St. Nicholas Church Brighton but it reads "Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Brighton in the County of Brighton" (1902)
I don't understand why the 1902 marriage doesn't mention the church and refers to Brighton as being in the County of Brighton. Brighton became a county borough lst April 1889 but it's not a county
Can someone help please
