AWOL Downham Parish Marriage Record
« on: Wednesday 23 March 16 19:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I've located the marriage record of one Elizabeth Green to a Mathew Rodgers in the first quarter of 1866 on Downham Market.
(see previous thread http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=471237.0)

Exhibit A
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2DH1-Z9Q?from=lynx1

However, when I browse the parish records for this time period, it skips straight from one January record, to April, with no sign of the one I'm looking for.
The skip is on one page, January at the top and April at the bottom, so I don't think it's a case of missing pages.

Exhibit B
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-X3C5-4D?i=49&wc=92B5-FMQ%3A29489701%2C29373001%2C29933801%3Fcc%3D1416598&cc=1416598

Does anyone know if there's somewhere else that I should be looking for this record? Perhaps a parish border moved around this time or something.

My other thought, is that Elizabeth was born out of wedlock. Would that effect whether or not she could be married in the church?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

The registration district was Downham - but it was the RD for a lot of locations - see here
