I have often been frustrated by searching for an individual and only finding the banns not the marriage on Ancestry when searching the London marriages. I then decided to search for the other half of the couple and lo and behold the marriage came up, when I looked the other half had been mistranscribed by Ancestry and that is why it didn't come up ie
Archibald Hogg married Mary Burrows I only got the banns, when I searched for Mary Burrows marrying an Archibald I got the marriage and Hogg had been mistranscribed as Rogg!!
This has happened to me several times and each time once I know the other half of the couple I search for them and 9 times out of ten the marriage comes up...........and strangely enough it is not always mistranscibed but comes up under the other name!! Just thought I would share in case it was useful to someone!!
