Thanks guys for making me feel a lot less daft than I thought I was this morning !
Also for your kind words & very helpful link, I see the Register continued to be amended for marriages long into the 1950s Cold War !

I also wondered why my Aunty Joyce (aka "Loyce" in traditional Ancestry speak lol) was apparently married while still at school aged 4 years - now I realise the "6848M" also on her line (and in same colour ink!) corresponds to her marriage date 6/8/1948.

I'll enjoy searching this over next few days !

PS For years when using road atlases I've invariably found myself annoyingly located on an edge or join between pages. And now I know why; even in 1931, mum's family are sprawled across 2 pages. AND to further spoil the look of this document, my Uncle is just an ugly black "closed" band, despite him passing away almost 10 years ago.
Great info, but this skinflint with a liking for neatness is glad he never paid for it ;-)
