Are you insinuating that I was married in the 19th Century :-) Thought I was

LOL

Not at all <G>

Seriously I was under the impression that was the way it was normally done
and hence the copy I had contained the signatures of the actual people
concerned. Certainly appears to be on the other certificates that I have
got from local registry offices in the past.

I would certainly agree with your impression.

I also agree that the signature very definitely looks like June.

I found a mother named Marina in the 18th century registers for one
parish I was looking at recently, didn't think it was right, an
archivist agreed and thought it was Mariha as a fancy Maria of which
name there was many there. It was Marina though. Unusual for that
time but it's a name that actually dates back to the 14th century.

So although June may seem to be unlikely, it could be correct and the
incumbent has (incorrectly) assumed that it should have been Jane and
that's what's been passed through to the GRO becaue that's what was in
the register.
