As this was after the 1908 change in Canon Law, only the marriage in the Catholic church would be regarded as 'valid' in Catholic terms. The dispensation was probably because it was a standard requirement if a Catholic was permitted to marry anybody of another Christion denomination in a Catholic ceremony.

Yes, Benet is another form of Benedict. The Benedictines were running the Catholic mission in Woolton, thus the use of the name for the original chapel.

Yes, if you can do it from home without a lot of bother, you get round to checking less likely locations for missing information - and find things you didn't exoect !
A big thank you from me, too.

The details put on gravestones are notoriously unreliable. It's not unusual for families to get things wrong,  at a time of emotional strain, especially if some time passes after the death before the stone is chosen, or before additional words are added to an existing stone. If there are different members of the family involved in registering the death and arranging for the wording on the stone to be completed, even a different date of death may be the result.

 It's like Chinese Whispers, that game where each person in a line whispers a message to the next one along. Everyone agrees to the stone, but one person is left to pass on the exact wording to the Monumental Masons who deal with the gravestone.  Perhaps he or she is in a hurry/ has handwriting which is not clear / loses the piece of paper intended to be left with the masons and has to supply the info by word of mouth just relying on memory. Just some suggestions as to how things can go wrong. It's not unusual.
