The Common Room / Re: Is this marriage legal?

I've checked the registers of St Thomas Church, Heigham and Revd Charles signs differently to how the signature is on the record at Dore. I'm told there was a Marriage Act in 1948 that gave stricter rules than previously about how marriages were to be perfomed but obviously this marriage pre-dates this Act. There is some doubt as to whether the couple and congregation were acting in good faith as it's possible my great-grandfather knew the Claridges with them both being from Norfolk.
How would I go about checking the newspaper records? I think that's a good idea Arthur, as it would be something unusual.
