Shows Thomas Edward OTTAWAY aged 23, labourer, a Bachelor, son of Thomas, married Elizabeth DAY, aged 23, Spinster, daughter of Henry, both bride and groom being of Challock, married by Banns witnesses Alfred Ottaway and Rosa Ann Tamsett.
The KFHS data records the banns register as showing the marriage as being on 9 Oct. I don't know if there is an error in one of the registers or if this is a transcription error.
The 1911 census shows that Thomas and Elizabeth had 6 children together, all of whom were still living (and all six were with them at the time of the census)
