Marriage times three?

Hermy

I'm looking at the marriage record(s) of George Peter and Maria Traynor and, assuming they are actually the same couple in each case, I'm wondering why they get mentioned three times.
1 - 2 - 3
Okay, so it appears that George was Church of Ireland and Maria was Catholic but would both services be held on the same day. And then there's the two Catholic records which appear in two different books.
Maybe there's nothing much to discern from all this but no harm in wondering I suppose.

I can't help on why there were CoI and RC ceremonies but I have the same experience of finding two entries for the same marriage in the Rathmines records. My paternal great grandfather's marriage in 1855 appears twice, once in Latin and once in English, just as in your case. I have search the Rathmines registers on microfilm in the National Library. They are especially well organised, with a comprehensive index. Maybe, they were tidied up at some point and original Latin entries translated?

Yeah, that sounds like a likely explanation, thanks.:)

some Rathmines RC images are missing from the IrishGenealogy website, but it looks like some of the marriages were entered in the register twice - e.g.

image 340 image 308

both show Sept. 1851 marriage - e.g. James Toole and Eliz. Glynn 24th Sept

I've seen double RC/CofI baptisms on the same day, also some double marriages - but that's the first on the same day

I have also come across records that don't appear on irishgenealogy. So now I take it with a pinch of salt. If the record doesn't appear on the screen I then take the bus into town to clear it up.
