Marriage registered twice ???

I think it's an Ancestry goof - if you look on the page for the Oct Quarter it actually has names beginning with Beach. There is no marriage between Edward and Grace listed in that quarter.
Not sure how to inform them of this error.

Actually this rang a bell with me, and I checked and some of OH's rellies who married in Sep Q 1925, also have 2 entries, one for Dec Q1925. I then checked 2 entries with uncommon names on the Dec quarter listing, and there is no entry in the index for them. Looks like Ancestry used the indexes for the Sep quarter twice, so there are no indexes for the Dec 1925 quarter for marriages, you would need to check on FreeBMD for them, a search on Ancestry won't bring them up.
I've sent an e-mail to Ancestry informing them of the problem.

Just had an e-mail back from Ancestry, here is what they said:

Looks that way doesn't it. But I would have thought that they could work out that a whole quarters index wrong would affect a fair number of people even if they didn't report it .
