[jc26red]

I doubt it unless there was someone objecting

In what way was the marriage certs you have bought wrong?

sorry had to go and hunt them out found 2 of them
feb 5th 1839 mary topping maried robert nicholson but her father was william topping
25th dec 1845 mary married john milburn dixon a gentleman she is right age 23 and father a joseph topping but in 1861 census this mary was still with john milburn dixon

[jc26red]

well Mary Topping would have been very young and Robert Nicholson was even younger, they may not have told the complete truth when marrying unless her father was a witness to the marriage!  Robert is back home in 1841 as was Mary.
