Gloucester R.
« on: Sunday 30 April 06 21:09 BST (UK) »
Found a marriage index with district given as "Gloucester R."

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the R means please?

Thanks
Gazza

I don't think there's any such district (I haven't checked, but I've never come across it in transcribing for FreeBMD).  Where did you find the reference?  It's almost certainly just Gloucester.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Is it a hand-written page, or type-set?  Either way, if you're sending for it I would go with just Gloucester.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

ST, it is type-set in the 1940's.
I would have expected N,S,E or W but not R ???
As you say, I may just order it anyway,but was puzzled by it.
