Bride and groom would give the same address to save money. It was cheaper if you were living in the same parish

Thanks Q - you're probably right about the money and if she was underage they were probably 'lying low' too. Oh, don't you just love the intrigue???

Hi Rose, sorry about the delay I was ferreting about in my tree!


She was 28! Birth year.......presumably 1883.

Definitely looks like I have to send for the certificate now doesn't it?


If it comes back with the right details on it, I can follow your instructions on letting freebmd know that it's Jervis not Jarvis can't I?

Thanks for your help and encouragement in all this.
