Marriage Act Transcription

When Indexing, if I find a marriage act transcription from a marriage happened in another place, do I need to process them as I think it's needed (in order not to lose the information if the original act can't be retrieved, but risking a duplicate), or do I need to skip it?

If it need to be processed, there's something specific I should do to "mark" it as a transcription of a previous act and not an original one?

Thanks a lot in advance for your time.

    We index what we see in a record, following the project instructions and field helps, we do not add notes but just the information that the entries are required.

    Once the project is finished it will be available to the public with a link to the images. The resarcher will find the person by their names, and make their own conclusion when they see the image.

    Can you please share the batch Number to take a look at the image and give an accurate answer to your question.

    Thank you.

    I've let this batch go because it was about to be due, so I cannot share it. Next time I'll keep it and always reference the exact batch on every question.

    The answer was clear, anyway. Thanks a lot!
