Missing marriage from the GRO indexes. SOLVED

This marriage took place at St Anne's RC Church on 14 January 1917, doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that, the bride is correct, the marriage is cross referenced to her baptism which took place at the same church.

I can't quite make out what the latin says by the side but the first part seems to refer to a mixed marriage.

But I don't know what the "post matrim ..... attentatum" bit means and whether this has anything to do with the fact that the marriage is not listed in the GRO index - the marriage before on the 8th and the next one on 29th have been indexed properly.

What confuses me is that it also doesn't appear to be on LancashireBMD either.

So has a Registrar simply not been present or what? Grateful for any thoughts please.

I believe I've found the answer!!!

They appear to have been married in St Catherine, Edge Hill in 1913
MORLEY Florence M MACFARLANE Allen Edge Hill, St. Catherine

So the RC marriage later must have been when they/one of them converted to RC.
