To answer the query of a poster on another board, I looked up a marriage on
www.novascotiagenealogy.com. I found entries which I hope an nsrooter can
explain.....

There are 3 entries for a marriage of a Richard Finch [soldier born in Oxford,
England son of James carpenter & Harriet] to Minnie Boudreau [born Arichat,
daughter of Abraham sea captain & Annie]; 1895 Sep 30 1819/66/370 aged 24 & 21
witnesses Wm Oakes & Saidie Caker, 1896 Sep 10 1819/101/353 aged 25 & 21
witnesses Jos Davies & Lindon [?] Spinney, 1897 May 29 1819/125/155 aged 26 &
22 witnesses H Miller & E Miller.

The GRO index of Army marriages gives one for Richard Finch Halifax 1897 [page
262]. Are these 3 different marriages with amazing co-incidence?
