Gt Grandfather was William John Marks b. 1858 in Bethnal Green. Moved to Hull and married Mary Dunkin. Was a Police Constable in Hull Force and I believe a Moneylender. Lived for many years in Sculcoates, Yorkshire. Would be interested in any information regarding the family. Kathleen Portlock

This document will have the bride & grooms fathers name's & occupations helping you to find out more about their families before marriage. All the best
