Is this marriage legal?

[Geriatric]

I have a marriage certificate, of an In-Law, from Crosby Register Office in 1953 and the name of the woman is given as her two forenames i.e the second forename appears as the surname. Her father's name is given in full with the woman's second forename given as his surname. I have her birth certificate and passport so I have confirmed hers and her fathers proper names.
Does this mean that the marriage is illegal?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Geriatric and welcome,

Can you please share with us all the names as they appear on the marriage cert and the names on the birth cert and passport.

Cheers

Hi, welcome to the forum, I'm glad we have been able to point you in the right direction, I would have thought it was the ceremony that mattered more than the name, so believe it would be legal.

At my own wedding the registrar misread the list of "participants", thought I was marrying my father in law, James, knew it was actually a woman stood alongside me and entered 'Janet'.
I pointed out the mistake before I signed and to this day of course our MC shows Janet crossed out and Patricia entered.
I often wonder, nearly 37 years later, if things would have turned out differently had I married Janet!!
