    I'm looking at this page from St Kevin's church in Dublin in 1910.

    A number of the marriages have the number 3 in the dispensation column, including the Reilly-Long marriage I'm interested in. The couple are my great-grandparents and his parents are a brick wall.

    At first, I wondered if it was a dispensation for marriage during Lent, but it started a week later that year (isn't the internet great for looking this kind of thing up).

    Any thoughts?

    I bon't think it refers to lent or consanguinity, it's too frequent. Possibly the number of times the Banns were read?


    Edit duh - it is Banns, the top of the column reads denuntiones (announcements)

    Ah yes, that makes sense. I've never seen it recorded before like that - just presumed it was a standard thing that banns were read.
