Actual date from FamilySearch
"England Marriages, 1538'961973 ," database, FamilySearch (accessed 6 October 2015), Percy Charles Ottaway and Clara May Goatham, 28 Mar 1925; citing transcribed data from Parish registers for Rodmersham, 1538-1950; FHL microfilm 1,473,708.
However, the KCC register code is that for Bredgar, not Rodmersham. I suspect the FS entry may be for the banns, with the marriage date added.
