Of course that's the reason, Aileen. I always forget about banns. Once thought I had found the same couple marrying in Scotland and in Liverpool, but the Scottish record was the banns!

There seem to be quite a few submitted records for this family but they seem to agree with the extracted ones.

Potty

will be the same marriage but the one I've posted will probably be the banns and your posting the actual marriage
