Where did you get the actual date of the marriage?

Hi FLICK.
I have a copy of the Marriage Cert
that has given me the actual Date of the wedding,
the location of the wedding is not clear and i cannot work it out.
Please help if Poss and thank you for your help so far.

Hi Glitter Baby.
Thaks for help so far.
Cheers
Clifford Wood

The location of the marriage doesn't matter.........is Bessie's father named?

Oh dear

Clifford you have a vital piece of information with the marriage cert and the details from that should have been included in your request for help.

Is a father mentioned on the marriage cert - if so what is his name and occupation. Were any of the witnesses named Parsons?

Hi Flick & Glitter Baby.
Sorry,I forgot to enter it.
Bessies Father is James Parsons.
Please accept my Apologies for my forgetfulness.
Sorry.
Regards
Clifford Wood

And what was James's occupation?

Why do I feel like I'm standing in for a dentist?

Frankly, Clifford, I think you need to get the girl's birth cert.................
