Incumbent, that's the word! Thank you.

That's like our Bishops they can conduct weddings in other Wards of the church but the wedding has to be registered by the authorised person for the Ward where the wedding takes place. So for instance if a wedding took place in our Ward and the Stake President conducted it I would still be the registering person but if our Bishop did a wedding at Chorley (for whatever unlikely reason) it would be registered by the authorised person for that building. Just like a registrar from Blackburn can't do a wedding in Accrington. It has to be an Accrington one.

So I wonder how it works that a vicar can do it anywhere. Maybe the C of E have different rules to the General Register Office. I was thinking they came under the same jurisdiction.
