Hobbs Mary Ann Barton I. 8c 890
Smith James Samuel Barton I. 8c 890

hi, I do have the marriage certificate, it names jack smith as father of edith, but i am unable to read if it says john or josh, or joseph, the writting is really poor, for johns father unfortunatly. So i still have no real leads on my grandfather, other than he was born in birkenhead, befor moving to salford with his parents.
Thankyou for your help, am disappointed not to have found more information on any of them.

Regards

Alison

Hi Victoria, thankyou for your help, I will follow up the lead, there are no relatives still living that can help me in my quest.

Regards

Alison

usually the marriage certificates give the occupations of the father's, unless it says deceased.

please give the info if you have it, also the names of the witnesses and addresses of the happy couple.


Jack is generally a nickname for John

the brother Robert whom you refer to ...do you any more info on him, spouse, dob, death???
