There are two versions of this marriage record, one in the form of a full-page certificate and the other as a single-line entry in a ledger-style record book. Only the latter asks for the couple's parents. In this case, the bride's parents are identified as Armstrong & Anna Weekley, while the groom's parents are listed as Alf & (blank) Conaway.
