Ruth,
I am not sure what to tell you, this book is complied
from numerous record sources.

"The records hereinafter printed are principally copied
from three
volumes of Boston Marriages in the custody of this
department......."
[lists the volumes]......The publishments or intentions
of marriage from 1751
to 1809, inclusive, have been compared with the
records, and all differences
of spelling noted. The intentions for which no
subsequent records of marriage
appear, have been printed separately........
A few duplications will be found, which were
unavoidable as the marriages
did not appear in the Town Records; but were found in
the church records.

I am not sure why your marriages are not in this
book......as in all sources
there are flaws........

Maybe another can give suggestions as to why they do
not appear in this
book..........

Elaine
