In all the years I`ve been researching I`ve never come across this until this week.

In the 17/1800s in "some" parish records of marriages it says OTP.

Am I right in thinking it means Of This Parish, in this case.

I'd agree with that conclusion.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
