Help with Double Marriage?

[PaulJC]

Hi All,

Yesterday, by chance, I came across some information that I just cannot reconcile with my family tree.
I have a relative, Jennie Elizabeth Andrews who marries a Walter Cordock in Manchester in 1916. According to all the information I have, they had five children, the last of which was born in 1936.

Yesterday I came across a marriage certificate for Jennie Andrews (with the same father and same occupations) marrying an Ernest Thomas in Manchester in 1922. Her sister Edith was even the witness.

Any suggestions as to what might be going on here?

Have you tried locating them both in 1939  - I can see Jennie E Cordock (bn 1893)

Modified - There is also a Jennie Thomas that would fit bn 1891

So two different people with similar information? 

Which one is yours - the 1922 marriage with sister Edith or

What is the fathers name?

Thanks,

Jenny Elizabeth was born in 1893 in Manchester. Robert Oswald Andrews is the father for both marriages.........occupation warehouseman
I thought maybe a sister but cannot trace a sibling with a similar name?

I can't see an Andrews/Beckwith birth for a Jennie Elizabeth - none of Robert O & Betsy's children are showing as having middle names on the GRO index.

Thanks

If I understand where this is going....
Jenny Andrews is my relative who married Ernest Thomas in 1922. The Jenny Elizabeth Andrews who marries a Cordock in 1916 is no relation.

That has major implications for my family tree but better right than wrong

Who are the witnesses on the Cordock marriage
