Banns aren't valid indefinitely. From the Marriage Act 1949
12Solemnization of marriage after publication of banns
(1)Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, where banns of matrimony have been published, the marriage shall be solemnized in the church or chapel or, as the case may be, one of the churches or chapels in which the banns have been published.
(2)Where a marriage is not solemnized within three months after the completion of the publication of the banns, that publication shall be void and no clergyman shall solemnize the marriage on the authority thereof.
Although that is from 1949, I believe that a similar provision prevailed in earlier times.

I had some thoughts...
- mistranscribed dates
- different (generation of) couples with similar names
- marriage wasn't tied to that set of banns
I don't have Ancestry so can't tell which (if any) is feasible out of those.
Was the actual marriage by banns or licence?
