I've been looking at the re-marriage of the widow of someone in my tree, she married in 1898, but I've just found the banns for a previous marriage (same groom) a year earlier at a different church that never took place.
Does this mean she failed to turn up for 2 weddings, or failed to go to hear the banns read twice so the vicar wouldn't marry them? (I'm sure it wasn't compulsory to go, but it would be good manners to attend)
