Two civil marriage records of the same couple by the same priest?


By jospuen - Posted on 24 June 2020

In researching the marriage of Francisco Campos and Maria Gonzalez, and I've found some interesting finds. To begin with I've only found their "intent to be married" in the church records for Jalisco:

Then I found two entries, one month apart, in the civil marriage records in Jalisco.

and

Why would there be two entries? And from the same hometown and same priest? I'm told the family was wealthy, hence the "Don" and "Dona" on the marriage intent. I saw nothing regarding a dispensation. I have not seen this before. My spanish is not the best either. Any opinion is welcome.

Gracias,
