Married, 16 Aug 1891, Christ Church, Quarry Bank, William Skidmore, Birch Coppice, Quarry Bank, Ironworker, father, Joseph Skidmore, Miner
Diana Cox, Birch Coppice, Quarry Bank, father, Daniel Cox, Miner
Witn: Daniel x Cox, Catherine x Cox

If FreeReg is correct the entry has something I don't think I've seen in a parish register before:
Brides Condition- Spinster
But Grooms Condition - Virgin
Has anyone seen this before?
