Hi,
I am new to this site, and fairly new to genealogy. I have joined Ancestry.co , and am finding it very useful. I now have a problem (not the last one I'm sure) which I hope someone can help with.
The latest marriage certificate I have received - dated 1859 - has one word that I cannot decipher, in the column for Father's name. All the other marriage certificates I have show in this column the father's name, a dash (showing that the father was unknown) ,or the name plus 'deceased' in brackets, and never anything else. These I can understand. On this latest one there is the father's name (Richard Carrier) plus another word which I cannot read. I have attached (I hope) a copy of this section of the certificate in case anyone can help.
Any assistance would be very welcome, and if this problem has cropped up before and I have not found it, my apologies for taking up your time.
I plan to use this site to contact anyone else researching my branch of the CARRIER family, once I work out how.
Thanks again,
Bob.
