there is something very strange here
there are Banns read for a marriage
St Mary battersea Surrey
Edward Summons Bachelor (clearly writton as Summons)
Margaret Rudler spinster
both of this parish
25 Nov 1860
2 Dec 1860
9 Dec 1860
then there is a marriage
St Dunstan & All Saints Stepney
26 Dec 1865
John Christmas age 47 widower Occ labourer of 8 East Street father Edward Christmas labourer
Margaret Rudler age 25 SPINSTER of 5 Harrow St father Richard Rudler occupation Pastry Cook
witness Edward Dunn (or Lunn?)

all signed
so did the marriage to Edward Summons ever take place???
Why was Margaret still a spinster at the marriage to John Christmas
