Marriage Law Doubt Plagues Dalton le-iale Village

In Dalton le-iale near Sutherland a large portion of residents fear their marriages are not legally recognised. The 334 marriages performed at St Andrew's Church face legal scrutiny after the Registrar General questioned the church's right to solemnise marriages and transferred authority to the new church at Murton. The bishop and clergy seek resolution, unsure of remedies, with blame aimed at the Registrar General if the irregularity persists after 1893.
