So on the marriage to your grandmother Margaret Rees what does William James Wilson give for the name and occupation of his father?
On his Marriage Cert, in June 1893, my Grandfather gives his Father as:
'William Wilson (Deceased) Occupation Mason'.
The problem is that I've never been able to find them together. I've never found a definate for William James Wilson's Father, - the names are too common and there is too little to go on.
There's no problem with finding my Grandfather after his Marriage, - he just doesn't seem to exist before then!

I find it difficult to believe that a man didn't have to sign for himself as well?
Holly.
The first page shows Richard junior never signed his attestation - I have never seen that before - really odd.

This is Richard Kean's (the younger) Signature on the Attestation Papers.
You are correct Kat, - the Signature that I had Posted was his Father's.
