I wonder why ?

Online publication of the LMA registers is an interesting way of bypassing the bar on issue of such certificates. I'm surprised the particular entries weren't blacked out ("redacted" to use Freedom of Information Act terminology) before scanning.

I wonder if someone at the GRO will pick up on this thread and start a wholesale examination of the LMA marriage registers.

UJ, I think the actual reason was purely that the marriage cert wasn't signed by the vicar as there was another one on the following page, exactly the same, with the same note.

I think the reason I wondered if that was his re marriage
Marriages Dec 1912
Compton Grace M Lynch Fulham 1a 821

is beacuse the death in 1911 of Margaret Lynch aged 43.

A moments inspiration (only a little bit!).....Remember I said there was Joseph P T Lynch b Yorkshire abt 1875 on the 1911 census who I thought the marriage in 1912 belonged to and wondered if he was actually the one b 1865ish in Ireland as I couldn't find a birth for someone of that name in Yorks?

I just went back to the 1911 and tried Bradford as a place of birth for Joseph aged 36 and it came up as a match!! So, I bet it is the same man and he's decided to give the same place of birth as your Margaret, for whatever reason. I have tried a few different occupations for this Joseph, but haven't got a match yet (tried artiste and artist and musical and theatre so far - sorry I don't have a sub for the 1911, as you have probably realised!) His age could be wrong because he was a boarder in the household, so the landlady may have guessed.

I did successfully send off for that cert before the LMA records came online.

Can you remember where you got it from?

This Joseph is single, he's an author born in Bradford and boarding in the household of William Green and family

Is this the one in Lambeth?

If so, she is on the 1911 married to a Henry Peter Lynch and she is Welsh, born in Aberystwyth.
