Patrick Malley Marriage

[kiwi2011]

It looks to me that the brides name is Norah Stantion yet her name looks like Stanton where it says 'Solemnized'. What does it look like to you? Thanks.

Bride's father's name looks like Stantion as well.  The bride didn't sign her name.
 Irish Civil Marriages: The name has been indexed as Stanton. They may have pronounced their surname with a soft "t" and the clerk  heard it as "Stanchion".
Birth of Honor Stanton registered Newport, Mayo 1880, father, Richard.

Are you sure the bride didn't sign her name - It looks to me like her husband didn't sign his -

Patrick ^his      Malley

Norah Stanton  (I think)


Sorry it doesn't really help the original query.

Wiggy

Yes Wiggy, you're correct. My comment about the signature was an afterthought. I saw the cross is above her name. So she knew what she was called and how to spell her name.  I think that lends weight to my suggestion that whoever wrote the other spelling heard it as "Stanchion". Either that, or he confused it with "station." Maybe he had a train to catch.

Birth registrations of Honor (Norah) and her siblings were all Stanton. Father, Richard made his mark instead of signing. The mother was a Malley.

I would say everything has been written in one hand (i.e. the priest).  If the spellings vary, it is because he lost concentration.

The image is from civil Records. Superintendent Registrar's District. There are 3 marriages on the page. The others are Patrick Carlan/ Carolan & Jane Flynn, 24th March and Martin O'Donnell & Anne Malley/ O'Malley/ Anne O. Malley 3rd April. There were discrepancies in each marriage entry. Anne Malley's signature appears as either Anne O'Malley or Anne O. Malley; Patrick Carlan's as Carolan. The Deputy Registrar has completed the declaration at the foot of the page "I certify that this is a true copy of entries in the Registrar's Book of Marriages .... from entry ... Martin O'Donnell ... to Norah Stanton."
The name of the district at the top of the page is blank.

Were entries in the Registrar's Book of Marriages themselves copies from the marriage register, in which case the above image was a copy of a copy? Or was a registrar present at a wedding as in R.C. and Non-Conformist churches in England?
As Geoff says, variations in spelling are likely down to the person writing or copying the record losing concentration. It may have been the priest or one of the registrars. Or registry staff trying to decipher handwriting.

Thank you everyone for your input. I've even seen the name spelled as Staunton. As you say, misspellings.
