Transcribing a Parish Marriage Register for 1907, the Groom is entered as Benjamin Mannering age 31.
In the left hand margin is a note, " for Mannering read Manwaring, corrected on Dec 14th, 1916. Signed by the then Vicar and in the presence of the Parties married"
The name of the Groom's father is clearly entered as Joseph Mannering. One would think the Groom would know his name, afterall he did sign his name Mannering. To satisfy my curiosity, the 1911 Census has them in the same road with the name of Mannering ! So what was the point of the ammendement 7 years after the marriage?
