Beverly.
Before people could be married in the Church of England they had their names read out to the congregation for 3 consecutive weeks at sometime before the marriage itself these were called BANNS and gave anyone the chance to object to the marriage taking place.
When you have otp Banns it means the couple were " Of This Parish and by Banns ".
otp is not always the case though, people were only required to live in the village for a very short time if they wanted to marry there, an example is if the intended Bride lived in the Parish but the groom was from another the Groom would then move into her village for at least 3 weeks enough time for the Banns to be read, they would then marry and most times he would take his bride back to his own village to live, hence the existance or removal orders, eg the Groom dies and the wife and any children are sent back to her original Parish of birth.
