The one is Sep Qtr, and the other is Dec Qtr.

Well I am truly confused with these marriages , there are Mary Haden and Cornelius's crawling out from every where, I have looked at the actual images for both quarters and they are all on them , so now I'm at the cross roads and don't know which one is which.

Marriages Sep 1853
HADEN Mary Dudley 6c 135
HEWETT Cornelius Dudley 6c 135
Priest Cornelius Dudley 6c 135

Marriages Dec 1853
