Details from PR entry (image on CityArk website)
The PR entry shows an error, corrected in the margin, but which it appears was not corrected in the GRO copy. The groom's name was first entered as 'Thomas James Palmer' but he signed as James Thomas Palmer, and the margin note says 'col. 2 for Thomas James Palmer read James Thomas Palmer'.
