Thank you very much. What does it mean "banns only"? Was there no marriage ceremony? Or no marriage at all?

The marriage probably took place in another church or parish. If the bridal couple were from different parishes, the banns were read in both and the marriage was usually held in the bride's home parish. Note that the banns were read both "in the Cathedral and in St. Peter's".
