Marriage of John Miller and Harriet Langridge-West Malling
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 05:11 BST (UK) »
John Miller married Harriet (1 t) Langridge October 24th 1869 in the church of St Marys, West Malling, Kent.  I have a photo copy of marriage registration.
But I have noticed on Family Search web site for Kent Parish registers there is another marriage between a John Miller and Harriett (2 t's) Langridge dated 10th February 1867 also West Malling, Kent.
Does anyone have access to the Kent Parish registers for a lookup at this 1867 marriage please.
My Harriet/Harriett's parents were: James and Mary Ann Langridge.  Not sure on John's parents.

Is this a coincidence that there could possibly be two couples with the same names marrying in the same district?
I appreciate any help.
Thank you.

I would strongly think the Family search 1867 transcription is a mistake(There are loads of dodgy records on the site)
The only Marriage registered arround the dates is yours quoted.

I agree with grandarog - there is only one marriage registration and that was December quarter 1869 - FreeBMD.
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" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

The 1869 seems to be the right one both on FindMyPast and FreeBMD and both with 2t.
