The couple did not divorce and remarry Sherry. I have a modern case of marriage, divorce, remarriage, and those dates were many years apart. The case I'm discussing at the moment is very much within a month's time frame, and after help from others privately and much further examination of the

Kathy, I do not know the meaning of booked in either, it may simply mean that the church involved had been booked for the marriage - hence the charity donation. It would not mean banns (that's proclamation) and since there is a proclamation after that date it cannot mean marriage (which would

Thing is though that the Booked In is in the Parish of Findo Gask, while the 3 Banns are in the Parish of Madderty, some 7 or 8 miles away, yet both parishes obviously record the same couple. On 23 October 2013 19:57, Ron Ferguson ronfergy@tiscali.co.uk wrote: Kathy, I do not know the

If the couple divorced and remarried, just add a second marriage - it's as simple as that. You end the first marriage and then add the second marriage with the new date. You can add a marriage note in the second marriage about the reason why they remarried. I don't think a note is necessary for
