Some thing to consider
what reasons would someone need to produce a marriage cert to show proof of marriage.
Pension application , marriage of a child or school entry of a child just trying to give dates for a possible later registration as in my case.
My great uncle Hugh O'Neill or Hugh Neill on his marriage cert proved to be a very elusive man he was having children in Dublin in the 1920s and it cost me a small fortune buying several marriage certs for him till i decided to do a search on Family Search in his wife's name only Kathleen Gillespie and up popped one in Dublin North in 1946 matched with Hugh Neill i purchased this cert and it was indeed the right one married in 1920, i still have no idea why it was registered 25 years after their actual marriage but they obviously needed it for something which caused it to be registered late.
