I haven't seen too many Irish marriage certificates, so I was hoping to get someone else's opinion about one aspect of them: What is the difference between CC and PP?
To explain a bit more:
One old marriage in my family, was, according to an old newspaper announcement, performed by the brother of the bride, a Catholic priest. This announcement was published two days after the ceremony. The name of the person who wrote out the certificate (marriage.... by me) is not the brother's name, but another man's, I suppose another priest, followed by the letters PP. Does this mean he was probably just filling out the paperwork, so to speak? And the brother probably did perform the ceremony?
The only other certificate, I've seen has the letters CC following a name. This one also has an announcement, but no relative is mentioned as performing the ceremony. Does anyone know what the letters stand for?
