Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 8,118 Send Message	How old was Laura when she married, and what was her address at the time of her marriage. The cert. should also give you her father's occupation?

HOYLE, Jane Head Widow F 50 1861 Charwoman Lancs Manchester DENN, Laura Boarder Single F 19 1892 Hooker France RG number: RG14 Piece: 23714 Reference: RG14PN23714 RG78PN1378A RD464 SD2 ED13 SN233 Registration District: Chorlton Sub District: Ardwick Enumeration District: 13 Parish: South Manchester Address: 24 Guy St Ardwick Manchester County: Lancashire Her landlady might not have known how to spell her surname ?? The industry in which she works is shown as "Shipping Work House" on the original. I can't find any reference to Laura Denn on FreeBMD after 1911..?
