The Problem
A "five-fold" increase sounds like a lot. But, the number of marriages was small, so it doesn't take much to increase "five-fold." The author doesn't disclose that this increase was outside Utah.[1]
| Date | Number of marriages | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1890 | 7 | Mexico |
| 1891 | 2 | Mexico |
| (unapproved?) | 2 | Mexico |
| 1892 | 1 | Mexico |
| 1 | Canada | |
| (unauthorized) | 2 | Utah temples |
| 1893 | 2 | Mexico |
| 1894 | 1 | Canada |
| 6 | Mexico | |
| 2 | Utah temples | |
| 1895 | "About the same" | - |
| 1896 | "About the same" | - |
| 1897 | 2 | On ships at sea |
| 9 | Mexico | |
| 9}Mexico (no 1st Pres. approval needed; these were all local Saints in Mexico) | ||
| 1899 | Permission for marriages in Mexico halted, some Utah and Idaho marriages |
The author's source should alert him to this, since Cannon mentions "two marriages" being performed per year. These two marriages were not in the United States.
