About these marriage notations in RC baptism registers: My grandmother's baptism record in Liverpool has the note of the wrong marriage. Another woman of the same name was baptised in the parish a few years before my grandmother and when she applied for a baptism cert to marry, the priest wrote the marriage details against the wrong Catherine - against my grandmother. Then, a few years later, my grandmother comes along intending to marry, and there must have been something of a kerfuffle. The incorrect marriage details were crossed out and the newer, correct, details entered. But the "wrong" marriage details were not copied back to the correct Catherine.
You really ought to see this original baptism register with the attached marriage details in case something like this has happened. And bear in mind that this was done some time before the actual marriage, and represents an "intention", but the marriage itself may have fallen through.
