Normally, county records give 2 dates on the marriage record. The first is the date the license was issued and secondly, the "return" date of actual marriage as sent in by the minister or justice. Eustace and John have no "return" dates entered - only the date the license was issued. Usually the marriage takes place within 3 days after the issue. The minister, in these two cases, failed to send in his returns.
