Just received two marriage certs (well done GRO, only ordered them midnight on Sunday!).
The first was for my 2 x GGPs, Thomas Bell and Mary Woodhead. My brother researched the Bells many years ago but I recently checked and discovered he had followed the wrong family, so the marriage cert was needed for his father's name.
Oooooh...father's name blank. End of the line I think on this one.
The other, for another set of 2 x GGPs appears correct EXCEPT they have given him the occupation of Butcher. On all censuses he is a housepainter, as was his father and all his brothers. The bride's father is a butcher...am I safe in assuming this is just an error?
