Hello, I have an uncle who eloped and was married out-of-state by a Justice of the Peace. A few years later, he and his wife were married in church. Both marriages are legal, only one of course, was a religious ceremony.
In addition, there is another couple in the family who had two marriages--one was held here in the home parish of the bride, the other was held in another country in the parish of the groom. I'd like to hear how others have made entries into Legacy to cover two marriages for the same couple?
