Notes for Gerald E & Maureen (Family)
Their (curious) marriage index:

First name(s) MAUREEN
Last name TOWNSEND
Marriage quarter 3
Marriage year 1953
MAUREEN TOWNSEND married one of these people
Gerald E Driffield   <--- sic!
Spouse's last name Duffield             <--- sic!  <Duffield is what is on the image of the index page.
District Cambridge
County Cambridgeshire
Country England
Volume 4A
Page number 557
Record set England & Wales Marriages 1837-2005

FreeBMD shows two index pages, one for Duffied, one for Driffield, both with the same vol and Ref No but one for Duffield and one for Driffield.  The entry on the index page for Maureens marriage shows only Duffield, so I’m going for that.  An answer would be to get her marriage cert but I think my vied is right, until I am proved to have it wrong, of course!
