The LMA info on Ancestry has been fantastic for me but i have a number of Banns which have not ended in a marriage - one of which could explain why my baker GxGF joined the Army!
I have a niggling question......
I have a rel born before a wedding and therefore thought that he was the issue of a previous marriage, but I have found that there were Banns read at one Church for the parents. They were both single but there was no wedding. Then four years later they were read again at another Church, both still single, and the wedding was there. He was born in between these Banns.
I know I had Banns read at my wedding back in the 1970s, but has there ever been any time limit between the Banns and the Wedding - say back in the 1800s?
Thanks
