	I take back my last comment....they apparently did marry, Marriages Jun 1907 (>99%) Gibson Annie Nottingham 7b 754a GILSON John Nottingham 7b 754a I wonder if GIBSON is a mistranscription, or deliberate misinformation to circumvent the law......................it's significant that they went to a neighbouring County............

	There is no Sarah Elizabeth recorded as marrying in the same qtr/location as the 1884 marriage posted above I've looked at the image.....the entry is hand-written and has been added at the bottom of the page on the index, and the page number is 520a, for which there is no other recorded entry
