Not seeing Eliza with father Joseph, a Farmer, prior to her marriage - even looking at the surname as Brown or Broom

I suspect that 'farmer' could mean an agricultural labourer - another of mine has 'Farmer' on the marriage cert but the certs for her siblings show agricultural labourer - suspect it was to 'upgrade' for the marriage cert.

Do not forget that a lot of the earlier marriages might have had professional witnesses. such as church wardens etc, so unless you can view a lot of images on the same page and spot that the names keep appearing then they might not be related at all

GB, thank you I suspect I have some professional witnesses on the various marriages posted - especially if they have the same surnames.
