    has the marriage date is 1st Jan 1898 at The Registry Office at Richmond Surrey in the presence
    of William Watson and Charles Baily. They were both living at addresses in Kew and John Arthur
    Mack, his father, was described as a retired bank manager, whilst Marianne’s father, Henry
    Firth, was an Army Captain deceased. On 5th February 1898 Wilmott and Marianne had a further
    church ceremony to solemnize the marriage at The Parish Church of Kew, this time in the presence
    of Frederica Augusta Firth [7], Sidenham Firth and Wilmot’s older sister Roselle Mack.

      Mack, Wilmot Smerdon Richmond S  2a 526

      and on the GRO original list we also have

      Firth, Marian Lena  Richmond S 2a 547
      
      So it would appear there were 2 ceremonies and I would hazzard a guess that
      one was Catholic. I found the difference in the spelling of her name
      interesting. It was quite clear on the film.
