The information on this document is confusing and interesting. The certificate is issued on 8 November, saying it is a true copy of the license issued on 8 November 1873. But the date on the performance of the ceremony is 6 November 1873. The name of the bride in the issuance section is Millie Hood, while the name in the ceremony section of the certificate is Amedia Hood. Normally the license is issued before the ceremony is performed.
