Default Banns read after marriage ??

Banns of marriage between Richard Doggett and Hannah Curd Both of this parish were published, on the 31st Oct, 7 Nov and 14th Nov.

Married 29 Oct 1802 Sarratt Hertfordshire

I always thought banns HAD to be read before marriage?

Interested in your opinion, thanks.

Sylvia, I've just looked at the parish register and what you say is correct!

Do you think the vicar didn't follow the correct procedure and had to read them afterwards?

Not sure what happened Elizabeth, all the other marriages shown have the banns before marriage.

I`m looking at FMP parish records

Perhaps he put October instead of November?

I bet Elizabeth's explanation is the correct one. I cannot imagine any vicar humiliating himself by reading the banns to the sniggers of the congregation.

Yes Banns have to be read before the marriage, part of it reads "if any of you know cause or impediment why these two should not be joined together in Holy Matrimony ye are to declare it!

Thats a possibility Elizabeth, as the next marriage has the banns read in December and marry January of 1803.

Not sure what it is with my Curds and the church in Sarratt.

Hannah`s neice Charlotte was to be married to William Griffin 21 Jan 1828 after banns, but William forgot to get a certificate from his church in Rickmansworth, so the vicar crossed the entry out and put a note.

They did get married on the 28 Jan 1828 in Rickmansworth, but had thier children baptised all 7 on the same day 20 May 1856 in Abbotts Langley.
