Notes for Henry Blackburne & Florence Emily (Family)
FreeBMD does nto show Henry’s name in the list of those married at Marylebone on the quarter, etc.  It has three female and two male entries, so it looks like there is some failure in the FreeBMD entry for Henry. In fact for his entry for marriage the vol is the same at 1a, but the page number is different at 781, which is correctly copied from the index page and on this page there are only three entries put on FreeBMD, two blokes and one bird.  Finally examination of the image of the page for her entyr shows this is in error and it, too, should be 781
