(From FreeReg)

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?

William Skidmore was born late 1868, in Netherton (later census agree with this) but not bapt until 24 March 1872, St Andrew, Dudley, son of Joseph Skidmore, and Mary Ann (nee Crew).

This should be Bachelor, must have pressed the v key instead of the b key. Now that goes to show that you can't rely entirely on transcriptions, we all make mistakes
